Africa Press-Nigeria:
It was the turn of Ibrahim to double his side’s lead after 37 minutes – jabbing home a cross from Moroccan winger Moha who raced into Nitra’s backline. Five minutes later, Daniel Magda deflected the Nigerian’s shot into his own net.
On the stroke of half-time, David Strelec made it four for Jan Kozak jr’s men by tapping home Medved’s pass after capitalising on the hosts’ shaky defending.
Medved completed his brace in the 49th minute to help Slovan Bratislava race to a five-goal lead that put the game beyond Nitra.
Although the hosts had their own share of scoring opportunities, they were halted by impressive goalkeeper Michal Sulla who made a couple of beautiful saves.
After an impressive shift, Ibrahim was replaced by Nono in the 73rd minute while his compatriot Ezekiel Henty was not listed for the clash.
Also, Central African Republic’s Quentin Ngakoutou was not dressed for action.
Thanks to this win, Bratislava lead the league table with three points and a superior goal difference. They welcome Zemplin Michalovce to the Tehelne pole on Tuesday, while Nitra chase their first win against last season’s runners-up Zilina.
