Out, 1‑3 to DAC Dunajska Streda, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Vojtech Brabec provided it, and the 9.25 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.
Two goals and a mark of 8.11 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Lukas Valjent, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.93
A mark of 7.93 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.
Filip Kucka was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.
In brief
SquadThe division's best last weekend was a FK Senica man
He is 21, he is averaging 7.25, and older professionals have started passing to him in the difficult minutes. That last part is the real scouting report.
Spartak Myjava made FK Senica work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Words at FK Senica training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Matej Kochan is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
There is a particular helplessness in conceding 2 times before the twentieth minute. Spartak Myjava tried to reorganise, FK Senica did not allow it, and the result was written long before it was confirmed.
“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at FK Senica, and 1 appearances in 9 say he has earned the hearing.
It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. FK Senica told Peter Sestak something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at FK Senica this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
3 goals to the good, and then a slow surrender of everything that had been earned. Marek Sestak will not be the one blamed for it, but nobody at FK Senica escapes the conversation that follows a collapse like this.
The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Marek Sestak did not need any: 9.40, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.
3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

41 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. FK Senica lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Two goals and a mark of 9.12 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.
9 goals in one match, Vojtech Brabec on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of FK Senica and MFK Skalica.

Vojtech Brabec was on a different afternoon to everybody else
9.76. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Two or more conceded in each of the last 4 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.
Spartak Myjava will want this one forgotten quickly: 8‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. FK Senica were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Marek Sestak, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 9.79
A mark of 9.79 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.
There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 0 on the scoresheet, 7.72 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.
There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Lukáš Fabiš is living that version at FK Senica, and it tends to show in the first month.
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at FK Senica this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
8 goals in one match, Marek Sestak on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of FK Senica and Spartak Myjava.
At 19 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
