Trenčín beat Slovan Duslo Šaľa quite conveniently 4:0 (3:0) in spite of the relatively early red card for Čögley and moved to the seventh position in the league table. Filip Hlohovský became the hero of the match scoring three times, twice from penalty kicks. The upcoming game of Trenčín is in two weeks on Sunday, September 13 in Ružomberok against the local reserve team.
AS started actively and could score already after 20 seconds. The first goal moment however came in the 2nd minute. Horváth rushed into the penalty area and Šaľa defense fouled him. Hlohovský conveniently converted the resulting penalty kick – 1:0. The counter strike of Šaľa came in just several seconds, but their goal wasn’t regular due to an offside. After quarter an hour, Godál playing in the right defense this time sent a wonderful lob, but Kolmokov batted at the last moment. Five minutes later, Gergel escaped on the left side, centered into the penalty area and the successful break was completed by Hlohovský – 2:0. AS kept putting pressure on the visitors. The shots by Hlohovský and Horváth only hit the net from the outside though. In the 38th minute, Čögley was sent off after his second yellow card in the game so Trenčín continued in ten only. In spite of that, just a few moments later, Knapp conveniently made it 3:0 after his cooperation with Gergel.
Neither the quantitative advantage nor the break and substitutions helped Šaľa improve their performance in the second half. In the 54th minute, Hlohovský converted another penalty kick after the preceding foul on Depetris – 4:0. The guests didn’t threaten until the 60th minute. The header by Kuba who came for Zajac went high though. The same player was in a similar situation in a couple of minutes, but the result was alike as well. These two moments was quite everything the visitors showed in the game as far as their offensive activities are concerned. AS had full control over the game. In the last minutes, Trenčín could add another goal, but the good positioning of the goalkeeper made it impossible for Godál to score after an excellent pass from Gergel.
