Football players of MFK Dukla Banská Bystrica won 1:0 on the field of FC Košice in Saturday’s match of the 4th round of the extension part of the group to stay in the Nike League. The only goal of the match was scored by defender Marián Pišoja in the 58th minute.
The players from Banská Bystrica extended their unbeaten streak to four games and are still at the top of the group for retention. Their lead over Trenčín increased to eight points after the AS draw in Michalovci (0:0). The Košice players are three points ahead of Michalovce, who are in a position that means a playoff for retention.
The first half was dominated by defenses and the teams rarely got into dangerous offensive actions. In the 11th minute, Rymarenko did not get to finish in a promising position, when the Košice defense prevented him from doing so. After half an hour of play, the hesitant Jones did not score on the opposite side, nor did Gallovič, who directed the shot only at the goalkeeper Trnovský.
Shortly after the change of sides, the home team came close several times, but Faško sent the ball over the goal, Gallovič’s shot was blocked by the visitors and Obounet headed just wide. When Trnovský thwarted Fabiš’s chance with a quick save, the visitors struck. In the penalty area, Rymarenko passed to the far post to Pišoj, who after a short processing of the ball shot past Kira – 0:1. In the 70th minute, Obounet failed to equalize, whose hard shot was deflected by Trnovský, and Gallovič also failed shortly after.

Ján Kozák Jr., FC Košice coach: “Banská Bystrica has about 20 points more, and I have said before that we want to be closer to such teams with our performances. I think we are doing well. We fulfilled what we said to ourselves in the first half. Unfortunately, we have problems with solving situations in the final phase. In the second half we wanted to continue what we did in the first half. We had a lot of chances, we were the better team, but you can’t win without a goal. It’s a cruel loss. I think this was the best performance since my arrival. I believe that if we play like this in the next matches, we will win.”
Mário Auxt, coach of FK Dukla Banská Bystrica: “We knew that it would be a difficult match and that the home team still needed points. We tried to prepare for it. The home team played compactly in the first half and closed spaces for us, through which it was difficult for us to push through. In the second half, we urged the boys to they were patient. We waited for one goal that decided the match. The important thing was that we defended well at the end. Even the goalkeeper kept us in difficult situations today.”
