Terrifying first half. Vain effort in the second. Slovak footballers also lost the second match against Kazakhstan. In their fourth appearance, the C-division of the League of Nations was not enough in Nur-Sultan to make a 1: 2 home selection.

An opponent from Asia probably excluded the Slovaks from the fight to advance to a higher category. The competition will continue in September.
At the same time, the charges of the temporary coach Samuel Slovák started actively. They were aggressive in attacking, but they could not work out any chance.

“Kazakhs help each other, they’re like one. I don’t see it with our players. Plus, we can’t run with them.
We are late in the fights, then we replace it with our hands and we make huge mistakes in the back, “criticized the former coach of the Slovak national team Michal Hipp.
Jan Vorogovsky opened the score after the first of them, who took advantage of the huge hesitation of the entire defensive quartet and goalkeeper Marek Rodák.

“The ball flew for a long time. The whole defense has a share in the collected goal. Goalkeeper Rodák could also box the ball.
Several minor mistakes brought the first goal collected, “remarked former tracker Ján Ďurica in the Sport 1 studio.
Shortly afterwards, the Native saved his right foot at Vorogovsky’s next chance. When it looked like the guests had scored from the first goal, they collected the second. Elkan Astanov took advantage of another mistake, 0: 2
“Kazakhstan is very efficient, they scored two goals out of three chances. In the second we had a lead in sixteen five to three, but in the most important area we were unimportant.
These are mistakes that knock us to the ground – both physically and mentally. We have to believe in a miracle, “said former forward Róbert Vittek.

Matúš Bero brought the first flashes of the big turn right at the beginning of the first half. He scored the first goal in the twenty-first match in the most valuable jersey. Very important, he acted like live water on his teammates.
Especially for the alternating Vernon de Marco or Petr Pekarík. Herthy Berlin came close to extending the visitors’ lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle, but he lifted the ball over Šackij and it was a little too high and hit the bar.
Two minutes later, De Marco threw a chance to equalize when he did not hit the head with a corner kick. He soon found Juraj Kuck a sharp center, but goalkeeper Šackij again excelled against the captain.
“Suddenly we win fights, we do not give up and we have a full field. What a difference compared to the first half, “Hipp remarked.
In the 79th minute, the Slovaks took the third goal in the current campaign VAR system. Although Kuck equalized, according to the referees, the midfielder of Watford helped himself in the fight illegally. Ondrej Duda closed the disgrace.
