Voice after the match: Andrej Podkonický, assistant coach of Slovan: “We had a weaker start again. We lost a lot of individual battles in our zone. The goalkeeper stopped us, and that’s why we lost only 0:1. After the goal, we improved, we started to attack them , putting us under pressure and we could turn the game around. In the third period, it was about who would score the first goal. Unfortunately, we got it after the run of the opponent’s player. We tried to recall the goalkeeper, but we didn’t deserve to score for that performance.”
