Boleraž beat Šoporňa 3-1 in the Round of 64 of the Cup on Tuesday, 2 September 2026. The home side took control early and never looked back as they moved into the next round. Šoporňa pulled one back late but could not find an equaliser. The result ends a poor run for the visitors.
Boleraž struck first in the eighth minute to settle their nerves. They added a second before the break in the forty-third minute. Šoporňa responded after the interval, scoring in the fifty-second minute to level matters. Boleraž closed the game out with a fourth goal in the sixty-fourth minute.
The home side have not been consistent of late. They drew 0-0 with Trebatiče on 19 August before losing 0-4 to Malženiče on 8 July. Prior to that came a 2-2 draw with Nový Zámok and a goalless stalemate against Horná Krúpa. Their most recent outing was a 1-2 defeat to Slovan Dolný Štadión.
Šoporňa's recent form offers little comfort. They beat Malženiče 2-1 on 19 August but have struggled elsewhere. An 8-0 loss to Galanta in January stands out, along with a 1-2 defeat to Dolné Križkovany in July 2025. They also lost 2-3 to Slovan Dolný Štadión and 1-5 to Bab in previous seasons.
Boleraž now progress to the next round with a two-goal advantage. Šoporňa's campaign is over and the gap between the sides in terms of results widens further.
