Late Drama Seals a Draw at Ružomberok
The season opener at Ružomberok carried high stakes as the home side sought to bounce back from a tenth-place finish last term. According to pre-match reports, Dunajská Streda entered the fixture fresh off a 1:0 victory against FK Velež Mostar in the UEFA Conference League second qualifying round.
According to the match log, Boďa was held by a defender inside the box in the 90+3rd minute.
First-Half Stalemate and Tactical Changes
Neither side found the back of the net during a tightly contested opening 45 minutes. Ružomberok manager Jaroslav Köstl deployed a starting XI featuring Krajčírik in goal alongside Kostka, Köstl, Mojžiš, and Selecký in defense. The first half saw limited clear-cut opportunities, though the hosts threatened through a header from Jan Hladík that sailed wide in Niké liga action. Dunajská Streda countered with chances from Corr and Trusa, but Krajčírik stood firm in goal.
Both benches turned to substitutions around the hour mark to inject fresh energy. Dunajská Streda manager Robert Klauss introduced Ramadan, Žan Trontelj, and Georgi Gagua in the 60th minute. The changes paid immediate dividends when Ramadan scored.
