The Podbrezova Sentinel
Match8 Aug 2026
Radek Šiler leads the rout of Spartak Myjava
3‑0, and Radek Šiler took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Podbrezova tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Both of them Radek Šiler's — 9.03
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.03, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Vintage Samuel Štefánik — 7.96
At 34 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.96, and nobody on the pitch better.

Matúš Rusnák was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 25. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Spartak Trnava come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Podbrezova did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Ivan Budachev due for a Podbrezova medical
Everything agreed with another club, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

No thanks: Lukáš Němec rejects the move
Podbrezova had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Pribram, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Samuel Štefánik stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Samuel Štefánik and Podbrezova agree another 1 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Tempers go at Podbrezova
Samuel Štefánik 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.
In brief
