Squad

90 days out for Denis Kubica after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Spartak Myjava will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Player ratings

Both of them Noa Cervantes's — 8.49

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.49, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad

6 saves: Peter Sestak was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Market

Denis Duda 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 Spartak Myjava can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Words exchanged at Spartak Myjava

Jakub Buchel and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match

Spartak Myjava get the job done against MFK Ruzomberok

A 2‑1 win over MFK Ruzomberok, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

Spartak Myjava count the cost of losing Jakub Hrosovsky

35 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

The dugout

Miroslav Suslov: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 2‑1, already talking about the next one.

The dugout

Denis Kubica gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Denis Kubica is on it.

Match

No end in sight to Spartak Myjava's wait for a win

26 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Spartak Myjava has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Peter Sestak

There were 13 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match

A hiding for Spartak Myjava

Beaten 0‑4 by Slovan Bratislava, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Market

Denis Duda asks to leave Spartak Myjava

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Noa Cervantes

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Jakub Buchel signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jakub Buchel commits to Spartak Myjava for another 3 years.

Squad

Andrej 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 Spartak Myjava this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

No hiding place for Jakub Buchel

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Jakub Buchel, and the manager let it.

Squad

A row about effort at Spartak Myjava

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Martin Černek was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match

No end in sight to Spartak Myjava's wait for a win

22 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Spartak Myjava has to find a result from somewhere.

Match

Chastening afternoon for Spartak Myjava

A 0‑6 beating by DAC Dunajska Streda was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Squad

Remember the name: Michal Pekarik

He is 17, he is averaging 6.55, and older professionals have started passing to him in the difficult minutes. That last part is the real scouting report.

Squad

Denis Kubica stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Market

Denis Duda 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 Spartak Myjava can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Noa Cervantes was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 22. 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.

Match

6 goals as Spartak Myjava and DAC Dunajska Streda go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Spartak Myjava and DAC Dunajska Streda, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Match

No clean sheets in sight for Spartak Myjava

4 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Alexandr Tenyaev

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

The dugout

Denis Duda says Spartak Myjava went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Match

No end in sight to Spartak Myjava's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Spartak Myjava has to find a result from somewhere.

Match

Spartak Myjava cannot find the net

4 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Squad

A row about effort at Spartak Myjava

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Gabriel Halabrín was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

100 appearances for Samuel Flamik

100 games in these colours. Service of that kind gets rarer every season, and the crowd knows it.

Squad

Samuel Flamik 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 Spartak Myjava this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Spartak Myjava lose Ondrej Hrosovsky

38 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Player ratings

Noa Cervantes takes the honours

Marked 7.49 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Spartak Myjava had the best player on the pitch.
