Nobody could get near Marin Laušić
Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Spartak Trnava cannot find the net
3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Spartak Trnava promote Robert Mazuch from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Robert Mazuch has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Spartak Trnava pick somebody else ahead of Kristián Koštrna
There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

No hiding place for Patrik Vasiľ
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Patrik Vasiľ, and the manager let it.

Point won or two lost for Spartak Trnava?
Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against DAC Dunajska Streda? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

Roko Jureškin knocks on the manager’s door
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Roko Jureškin trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
