« I had a plan, but people pushed us to the finals. Not the system, not the things that were. But the energy of this stadium, » Gašparík added.
Erik Sabo managed the key moment. The biggest stars of Slavs failed. Tigran Barseghyan and Robert Mak wasted penalties.
« Penalties are not a lottery, but the psyche. You have to be able to kick them. They haven’t managed their most experienced, but that will happen, » said Slovan coach Vladimir Weiss. Later at a press conference he added:
« I take the loss more or less on myself, today I have practically nothing as a coach, from the perspective of the line-up or alternation. »
« Congratulations to Trnava, whatever they enjoy, » Weiss added. The supplementary question of the editor was dismissed. He raised his voice and gestures indignantly. Did more desire and energy decide? « What we want, we didn’t give the chances, » Weiss added with a raised voice and left.

The largest patriot of Trnava Martin Mikovič was the first in Tranz, already in the first half. He ran with his hands stretched and in the style of the MMA warrior he kicked the corner stop. Trnava captain opened the score and thus celebrated emotionally. His joy lasted only a few seconds. Less than four minutes.

It was a huge drama until the end.

In the last minute, a great joy broke out in Trnava. Michal Ďuriš scored a winning goal in retaliation of the Slovak Cup (Slovnaft Cup) and handled an extension. The first match was won by Slovan on the Brick Field identically 2: 1.
Trnava was more active in the second half, Slovan put under pressure. However, the match could be decided several times by Slavic player David Strelc. He had three clean chances, but he wasted them.
« A good match, but for us with an unfortunate end. We should have decided earlier, we had great chances, » Weiss continued.
Shortly before the match, fans of Trnava tossed the lawn with confetti and papers, which they announced before the match. They call it Argentina. And not just that. Referee Boris Marhefka also liquidated black-black balloons. The match started about five minutes later.
More than 10,000 people have come
The organizers had to clean the lawn several times during the match, but there was a decent mess. Even the second half had deaf moments when the referee interrupted the game for pyrotechnics. Guests from Slovan filled the guest sector.
Even on the roster was not Vladimír Weiss Junior, who was injured in the previous league match.
« We are able to go to the finals. We need people to come in retaliation. There were eight thousand in the brick field, but we need ten thousand fans to push us to the finals, » said Michal Gašparík, coach of Trnava before the match.
