FK Velež Mostar suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat at home to Dunajská Streda in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifiers. The Slovakian side produced a clinical attacking display to put themselves in a commanding position for the second leg.

The second goal came shortly after the half-hour mark. A swift counterattack caught Velež out of shape, and the Dunajská Streda striker slotted home from a tight angle to make it 2-0. Velež tried to respond before halftime but lacked composure in the final third.

The second half saw Dunajská Streda manage the game expertly, holding onto the ball and forcing Velež to chase. The third goal arrived in the 68th minute when a defensive mishap allowed the visitors to score from a free-kick routine. With a three-goal cushion, Dunajská Streda cruised to the final whistle.

• Dunajská Streda’s efficiency in front of goal was the difference – three goals from six shots on target.
