After over an hour he was replaced by summer arrival, Michal Klec. While on the pitch, Sojka witnessed two goals of Slovan, scored by Aleksandar Čavrić and Andraž Šporar, from a penalty. Later on Šporar's second goal and a sole goal of Pohronie, scored by Patrik Abrahám, had set the final score to 1:3.^[1]

Sojka made another Fortuna Liga appearance on 31 August 2019, in Myjava, in a neutral-soil away fixture against iClinic Sereď. Sojka came on in the 66th minute as a replacement for Jakub Sedláček, with the score set at 2:2, following goals by Zachara and Abrahám for Pohronie and iClinic's goal by Alex Iván and own-goal by Pohronie's defender Ján Nosko. Pohronie went on to go one down after a goal by Tomáš Hučko, but Patrik Jacko had set the score to the final 3:3 in the stoppage time.^[2] This was Sojka's last appearance for Pohronie.
