Match

Boris Druga wins it after the whistle should have gone

92 minutes played. Boris Druga found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and MSK Zilina B went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Market

Peter Sukovský hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Malženice can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

A brace, and Boris Druga takes the afternoon — 8.78

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Boris Druga provided it, and the 8.78 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings

Vintage Xhuljo Tabaku — 7.89

At 34 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.89, and nobody on the pitch better.

The dugout

Alexey Andreev: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Malženice have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

A falling-out at Malženice

Boris Druga and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Malženice

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Match

Malženice get the job done against MSK Zilina B

A 3‑2 win over MSK Zilina B, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Transfer targets

MSK Zilina tell Malženice: Patrik Richter is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

In brief
