They will meet their opponents on Monday at 2:00 p.m., when the draw is scheduled in Nyon, Switzerland.
Vladimír Weiss, coach of Slovan: “I’m sad that we didn’t get at least a point. I’m angry with myself because I didn’t make the decision I wanted in that minute. I wouldn’t rate Borjan’s intervention now. We achieved the goal, but today I didn’t have a lucky hand. I wanted take more risks.”
news-item-description">SK Slovan Bratislava was assured of advancing to the spring part of the Conference League even before Thursday’s last match in the group with Olimpija Ljubljana (1:2). And since Lille confirmed the role of favorite and defeated Klaksvík (3:0), the “Whites” would have to face the spring preliminary round even if they beat the Slovenian opponent.
Martin Trnovský, goalkeeper of Slovan: “Unfortunately, it happens in football (about the expulsion of Borjan – editor’s note). I didn’t think and started preparing for the goal. I didn’t focus on whether I wasn’t warmed up. I went there and wanted to help the team. The result of us sorry, but progress is ours and that’s nice. It’s a shame, we wanted to win and enjoy it with our fantastic fans. Unfortunately, we couldn’t do it.”
Lukáš Pauschek, defender of Slovan: “We got the first goal after a tactical error, we fell asleep there. Then we equalized, but Milan was sent off, even though it wasn’t entirely his fault. We conceded right after the red card, but we tried until the end to equalize. We pushed advanced, but the forces were leaving. We definitely wanted to win the last game, that’s why we have such bitter feelings. But we are looking forward to the spring games in Europe.”
