Ján Haspra (head coach of MFK Ružomberok): „I agree with my colleague. He is absolutely right. Everyone presented their style. Žilina is known for playing. We create something new, we also want to have our own style. The match resembled a cup match with Dunajská Streda. The first half was a slight dominance on the ball by the boys from Žilina. They combined very well, similarly to Dunajská Streda, also to the age of a penalty area, there was little danger there. At the end of the first half time we managed to score a goal. In the second half time, the passage was important, when we had a lot of goal chances from the counterattacks, which we did not change. Then the opponent lowered. They went mentally up, we went down. Such a classic match when reduced to 2:1. We finally managed it with great desire. Everyone in the club, city, district and maybe even in the region is looking forward to gaining three points with a tough and quality opponent.“
