Ondrej Duda (Slovak pronunciation: [ˈɔndrɛj ˈduda]; born 5 December 1994) is a Slovak football midfielder who currently plays for German club Hertha BSC and the Slovakia national football team. His nicknames are Dudinho and Ondrej di Maria.[1][2]

Club career

Duda began his football career at his hometown club MFK Snina. He later moved to MFK Košice, where he rose through the youth team ranks, making his first-team debut for the club at the age of 17 as a late substitute during a 1–0 home win against ŠK Slovan Bratislava.[3]

In the winter of 2013-2014, Duda decided to not extend his contract with Košice, which would expire the following summer.[4] In February 2014, Duda then joined Legia Warsaw on a four-and-a-half year deal.[5][6]

On 30 July 2015, Duda was hit by a stone in Legia's UEFA Europa League qualifier away at FK Kukesi in Albania, being stretchered off and the match abandoned. The game was awarded as a 3–0 Legia victory and their opponents were fined £49,160 and forced to play their next European home match behind closed doors.[7]

Hertha BSC

On 20 July 2016, Duda signed for Bundesliga side Hertha BSC on a five-year deal.[8] After being sidelined with a knee injury shortly after signing and also undergoing a knee operation in November 2016, Duda made his competitive debut for Hertha on the 25th February 2017 in a 2-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt as an 89th-minute substitute, 7 months after signing with the club.[9]

International career

Duda made his international debut for Slovakia on 18 November 2014, replacing Marek Hamšík in the 59th minute of a 21 friendly win over Finland in Žilina.[10][11]

Duda scored Slovakia's first goal in their UEFA Euro 2016 campaign with an equalising goal to make it 1–1 against Wales. Slovakia went on to lose 2–1.[12]

His first goal in any of the qualifying competitions was scored in the 10th game of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification against Malta (3-0 win), sealing the 2nd place in the group for Slovakia.
