The knee: Robert Benes out for 16 days
16 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Slávia TU Košice lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.
Match17 Oct 2026
Slávia TU Košice leave it late against Pohronie
Ninety minutes of very little, and then everything at once. The winner arrived in the 86th, and Pohronie spent what remained of the match appealing to the referee rather than chasing the ball.
Player ratings19 Oct 2026
Hamza Martinović, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 8.04
A mark of 8.04 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Michal Piter-Bučko 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 Slávia TU Košice this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at Slávia TU Košice training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Rhyan Modesto 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.

Šimon Ivan sends Slávia TU Košice past Pohronie
It finished 2‑1, and it was Šimon Ivan’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Slávia TU Košice.

The crowd has taken to Šimon Ivan
At 20 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.
The dugout19 Oct 2026
Filip Kráľ 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.

21 new faces, and Slávia TU Košice are still learning each other
A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.
In brief
- The dugout A promise honoured for Rhyan Modesto
- The dugout Robert Nemec: “That is the standard”
- The dugout Dušan Bublák dropped after a run of poor form
