FK Kosice powered into the next round of the Slovak Cup with a ruthless 7-0 demolition of Harichovce, producing the most one-sided result of Tuesday’s cup action. The away victory on 2 September 2026 was never in doubt, as Kosice demonstrated their superior quality from the first minute and kept their foot on the accelerator until the final whistle.

Match overview

Kosice, competing at a higher level of the Slovak football pyramid, treated the cup tie with the utmost seriousness. They pressed high, moved the ball quickly, and tore through the Harichovce defensive lines at will. By the time the opening goal had settled the nerves, more were quick to follow, and the hosts struggled to find any form of sustained resistance.

Every department of the Kosice performance impressed. The midfield controlled possession and set the rhythm, the wide players caused constant havoc with pace and delivery into the box, and the forward line converted with clinical precision. Harichovce barely threatened in response, as Kosice’s defenders remained alert and organised throughout a one-sided contest.

Match stats that defined the performance

• Seven different on the scoresheet: Kosice shared the goals around, showcasing their attacking depth against the lower-league hosts.
• Clean sheet: The visitors were equally solid at the back, making sure the heavy victory came with defensive security.
• Dominant second half: Far from easing off, Kosice added more goals after the break to make the scoreline even more emphatic.

What the result means

For FK Kosice, this was a perfect cup workout. It offered opportunities for rotation, allowed younger players to gain minutes and confidence, and gave the squad a welcome morale boost. The seven-goal margin will also serve as a statement of intent to potential future opponents in the competition.

For Harichovce, the heavy defeat will hurt, but the experience of hosting a club of Kosice’s stature remains a proud occasion for an amateur or part-time side. Their Slovak Cup journey ends here, while Kosice now look forward to the next round with growing belief that this could be a deep and memorable run.
