John Mensah makes second start for FC Nitra

Ghana defender John Mensah made his second successive start for FC Nitra in their 2-1 defeat to Senica in the Slovakian top flight game played on Saturday.

The Black Stars defender was playing his second straight game just under a fortnight after joining Trograri on a short-term deal.

Mensah, however, suffered another defeat with his new side who are facing a battle to stay up in the Super Liga.

The Black Stars defender was introduced in the 73rd minute after Senica had pulled even.

Kostelny had given Nitra a third minute lead which was cancelled out by Opiela in the 68th minute.

Senica left it late to win the match as Piroska struck in the 80th minute to clinch all three points at stake.
