Aleksandar Čavrič opened the scoring in Tehelné pole after only 18 seconds and it was the only goal of the duel. The spectators did not even manage to settle properly and the players set up and the first goal was scored. Slovan made a quick rush into the unconcentrated defense of the guests, after Holman’s pass Čavrič bypassed the Trnava goalkeeper Takáč and after 18 seconds he opened the score. Slovan controlled the game without major problems, suppressed the platonic effort of the “angels”. With 17 minutes played, Barseghjan had an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors’ lead, clipping a volley hooked in from the right, but Takáča was in the right place and tipped the ball over for a corner. Trnava threatened de Azevedo with a promising position in the 24th minute, but Chovan showed a good intervention. The Brazilian de Azevedo tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn’t get past the visitors’ defenders. Although the title has already been decided, solid league football was played at a good pace, but there were no more chances. In the second half, the first serious effort meant an inaccurate shot by the guest Savvidis in the 54th minute. Trnava tried to combine into a concentrated home defense in the attacking half, Slovan was waiting for breaks. With 63 minutes played, Čavrič nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. The image of the game did not change much in the following phases, the guests tried, but they lacked a better final pass. The opposite was also true, so the 5601 spectators present did not score in an otherwise interesting duel.
