[change | change source]Having started his club career in the Slovak Second League at Petržalka, where he played for a year and a half, Schranz joined Spartak Trnava at the age of 18 in January 2012.[5] He made his league debut against Banská Bystrica on 5 May of the same year.[6] Schranz also made his European competition debut and in July 2014 scored twice in a UEFA Europa League qualifier against Scottish Premiership club St Johnstone.[7][8] In the middle of the 2014–15 season Schranz headed to Czech side Sparta Prague on loan, but made no league appearances for the side before returning to Trnava.[9] He continued to play for Trnava until the end of the 2016–17 season, playing 125 matches and scoring 25 goals overall.[10]
International career
[change | change source]On 4 September 2020, Schranz debuted for the senior Slovakia national team in a 3–1 loss against the Czech Republic at the 2020–21 UEFA Nations League, where he also scored his first goal.[11]
In May 2021, Schranz was included in Slovakia's final squad for the rescheduled UEFA Euro 2020 tournament,[12] but did not make an appearance.[13]
Euro 2024
[change | change source]In June 2024, Schranz was called up to represent Slovakia at UEFA Euro 2024.[14] He scored the only goal of their opening match as they achieved an upset 1–0 victory over Belgium.[15] He scored again in a 2–1 loss to Ukraine in their second match, making him the first ever Slovak player to score more than one goal at the UEFA European Championship.[16] Schranz scored his third goal of the tournament in the round of 16 match against England. His first-half goal put Slovakia 1–0 up, a lead they held for most of the match, although England equalised in injury time and subsequently scored again in extra time for a 2–1 England win, sending Slovakia out of the tournament.[17] His three goals at the tournament earned him the golden boot award, alongside five other players.[18]
