Marked for Ondrej Weiss
From our football correspondent
Uneasy
Match19 Aug 2026
The small margins put FK Senica out
Out, 0‑0 to Zlate Moravce, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.
Market24 Aug 2026
David Bozenik hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what FK Senica can pretend not to have heard.
Match22 Aug 2026
No end in sight to FK Senica's wait for a win
4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at FK Senica has to find a result from somewhere.
Squad24 Aug 2026
Ondrej Weiss 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.

Samuel Nemec gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
Player ratings24 Aug 2026
A performance of 8.41 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

The kick that got away from Matej Bozenik
Twelve yards, a goalkeeper guessing, and it still did not go in. He will take the next one, and every soul in the ground will hold their breath.
Player ratings24 Aug 2026
Shots: 14, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.
Match22 Aug 2026
A 1‑1 draw with AS Trencin leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.
Back issues

Steady
Market17 Aug 2026
The bid was some way short and FK Senica did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.
Squad17 Aug 2026
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.
Player ratings17 Aug 2026
Marked 9.08 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Ondrej Weiss gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

A performance of 8.37 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.
Market17 Aug 2026
Al-Qadisiyah are about to pick up the phone
A conversation is coming this week. FK Senica will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.
Match15 Aug 2026
It needed Ondrej Rusnak to find the net to bring anything home at all: 3‑3 against Podbrezova, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.
Squad17 Aug 2026
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Ondrej Mak commits to FK Senica for another 3 years.
Market17 Aug 2026
David Hubocan is free to find somewhere else
“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at FK Senica has been clear about where David Hubocan stands, which is more than many ever get.

Steady
Player ratings10 Aug 2026
Successful dribbles: 28. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
Market10 Aug 2026
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.
Squad10 Aug 2026
“The easiest signature of my career.” Robert Benes and FK Senica agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
Squad10 Aug 2026
Samuel Nemec 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.

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
Player ratings10 Aug 2026
Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 19 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.
Squad10 Aug 2026
50 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.
Market10 Aug 2026
No place for Denis Benes in the plan
“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Denis Benes has his answer from FK Senica; what he does with it is the next window’s story.
Match8 Aug 2026
Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. DAC Dunajska Streda will be the happier side with the point.

Triumph
Market3 Aug 2026
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at FK Senica, and it is not being withdrawn.
Market3 Aug 2026
FK Senica say no — this time
The offer from Al-Qadisiyah for Stefan Hrosovsky was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.
Squad3 Aug 2026
Robert Benes in a row with a teammate
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.

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 22 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Add another name to the list: MTK Budapest have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Michal Duda. The answer from FK Senica has not changed — yet.

A defender's afternoon for Juraj Mazuch
Defensive actions: 21. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.
Player ratings3 Aug 2026
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.22, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

A performance of 8.51 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.
