Maksym Khiminets asks to leave Podbrezova
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Tempers go at Podbrezova
Peter Kováčik was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Words at Podbrezova training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dávid Krčík is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

MFK Ruzomberok take the points off Podbrezova
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Luka Silagadze reaches 200 appearances
200 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

Luka Silagadze beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 18. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The manager makes an example of Jan Sedlák
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Matej Rusnak answers for it
“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.
