Under Dubň, good football was played in the first half in the fight for third place in the table, but he lacked a chance. Both teams set the pace and tried to get the opponent’s defense into the tight, but the defenses worked flawlessly. With 30 minutes played, Ďuriš could have brought this one home for Rusov as he charged up on the left, but his hooked ball went just a bit too high. Five minutes into the game, Ristovski almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. With 40 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 – 0 lead as Bičachčjana flipped the ball in after a cross from the right.

The second half did not lag behind either. Trnava scored in the 49th minute, when the Žilina defense did not guard the center from the left side and it was no longer a big problem for Cabral Saymon to finish it successfully. The home team embarked on an offensive, the guests resisted relatively easily. The domestic young men gradually added gas, but they did not and not rework their chances. A free kick just outside of the visitors’ penalty area after 81 minutes could have resulted in another goal, but Kopas got a hand out and tipped the ball over the bar. Finally, Trnava succumbed to home pressure and in the 89th minute after Rusov’s gross error, which was dropped from the hands, Jibril equalized. In addition, Rusov was injured in the impact of the jump and had to be replaced by his colleague Kamenár. In the wild conclusion, Trnava lost the excluded debutant Jendrek at the set time, who saw the second yellow card. And she lost the point when in the last second he decided with a happily dotted shot by Slebodník, the unfortunate man on the side was Twardzik.

Voices of coaches

Pavol Staňo, coach of Žilina: “We prepared responsibly for this match and we knew where the problem was in Trnava and in a way we fulfilled the intention. We kept Trnava in the first half more or less in its half and tried to get tired of it. Maybe in the end We wanted to change something in the second half, we lacked dynamics, the guys worked well, but the changes helped us, fresh players came and they decided that we had won, we were also lucky, but we went after him and today we were granted “It was decided in the last seconds, the football is beautiful, the more emotions there are. Congratulations to the boys for the victory.”

Michal Gašparík, coach of Trnava: “Just as we broke the bad series with Žilina at home, so we wanted it today. We succeeded in the 88th minute. Then things happened the way they did, unfortunately football can be so cruel. We lost the captain, I will build for the first time. The teenager got a red card and then in the 96th minute from the dotted shot we get a goal and we don’t even have a point.Zilina had a territorial advantage, but we covered the premises well and did not have a clear chance. We didn’t catch up in the first half, yes in the second half and we wanted to keep the result. But unfortunately. “
