Dunajská Streda made it four straight wins with a 5-0 victory over Podbrezová in the Superliga's fifth round on Saturday. The result extends the hosts' unbeaten start to five games and leaves them top of the table on 13 points. Podrezová, meanwhile, remain in fifth place after six matches and 10 points.
The first half carried little tension until the closing moments. Two yellow cards arrived just before the break — O. Deml in the 45th minute plus one and J. Bationo two minutes later — suggesting a game that was growing physical but not yet decisive. Podrezová's keeper registered zero saves and the visitors created nothing of note.
Then came the shift. A. Ramadan opened the scoring in the 50th minute, and M. Trusa doubled the lead within two minutes. Trusa struck again in the 58th minute, and by then the match had gone beyond contest. Podrezová's shots on target remained at zero throughout the half, which is a telling statistic when you consider how many chances the hosts generated.
F. Blazek added a fourth in the 63rd minute, and a wave of substitutions followed. Both sides made changes around the hour mark, with Podrezová bringing on P. Kovacik and M. Chrien in the 69th minute while Dunajská Streda introduced Rhyan Modesto and others. The visitors had more clearances — 22 compared to 16 — but that only reflected how often they had to defend.
S. Ouro scored the fifth and final goal in the 89th minute, and the yellow cards kept coming: R. Siler and M. Rusnak joined Deml and Bationo in the book. Podrezová ended with four cards against the hosts' one, and the fouls told a similar story — 12 to 6.
The statistics paint a straightforward picture. Dunajská Streda held 60 percent possession, took 13 shots with seven on target, and created four big chances. Podrezová managed zero shots on target from six attempts inside the penalty area. Key passes were 16 to 8, and passes into the final third reflected the same imbalance — 88 to 69.
For Dunajská Streda, the win moves them clear at the top and extends a run that includes a 13-3 victory over Svätý Peter and a 3-0 win against Komárno. They drew 3-3 with Twente in Europe and lost 0-6 to the same side, but domestically they are building something consistent. Podrezová's third win in six games keeps them in the mix, but this result closes some distance between the two sides.
