Ján Haspra (head coach of MFK Ružomberok): „Today we entered the match with a great desire to proceed to the final. We all really wanted it at the club, in the city. The first half time was greatly influenced by this very thing. The desire tied together legs of our boys. We were very nervous. The opponent clearly dominated in the first half time. But he did not get a chance. It was dominance in the middle of the field. To a penalty area, it was very good on their part, but despite the fact that they dominated, we took the lead 1:0, which helped us a lot. We entered the second half time with the understanding that the opponent would try to open it because he needed to score. This has also been confirmed. The paths to the opponent´s football goal began to open up for us. We started to be dangerous even in front of the opponent's football goal. We lost our chances again, but in the end we pulled it to our side and I am extremely happy. I want to pay tribute to the club from Dunajská Streda, because they do it really well. It is an ornament of our league. I always feel good there. It's a top club. I wish them good luck in the future. Even today, I want to pay tribute to the referees who managed the match today without any objections. So hat down in front of them, too.“
