Norbert Hrnčár (head coach of MFK Ružomberok): „We did not have a very convincing entry into the match. We played imprecisely and slowly, we easily missed the ball and set our opponent in the two-goal lead. In particular, the second half had another parameter, we made it to the home team much harder for the match to fight for three points to the end. It is a pity that the contact goal came later, we did not have enough time to turn the game. Of course, Slovan is of great quality and turning 0: 2 on its soil is very demanding. I'm glad we did not kill it, we actually fought and we made it to Slovan for the second half difficult.“
