Gambian forward Alasana Yirajang scored as defending champions ŠK Slovan Bratislava opened their 2026/27 Slovak Niké Liga campaign with a 4-0 away victory over MFK Dukla Banská Bystrica on Sunday.
Yirajang netted Slovan Bratislava’s third goal in the 35th minute, finishing from inside the penalty area after being set up by Artur Gajdoš.
The goal capped a dominant first-half performance by the visitors, who controlled the match throughout to secure a convincing win and begin their title defence on a positive note.
Yirajang joined Slovan Bratislava from FK Železiarne Podbrezová in the summer of 2025 and has established himself as an important member of the club’s attacking unit.
The Gambian international’s latest goal underlined his growing influence as Slovan Bratislava seek to retain the Slovak Niké Liga title this season.
The victory gives the defending champions a winning start to the new league campaign as they continue their pursuit of another domestic championship.
