The long-awaited local derby between the football teams of the neighbouring towns Svidník and Stropkov attracted a crowd of 500 spectators (despite the pandemic), much above the average in the Svidník stadium.
Both teams fought well and the match was quite balanced, a fact which also materialized on the score board. 1. FK Svidník started the new season with a 1-1 draw away at Spišská Nová Ves, a good results in front of a reformed team which seems to be one of the strongest in this group. On the other hand, Tesla Stropkov won their first match this season, 1-0 at home against Bardejovská Nová Ves. As a consequence, both sides had a good state of mind for this derby. The visitors dominated most of the match, but the home side was dangerous on the counterattack.
After a goalless first half, the only goals of the game came in the beginning of the second half. First, the visitors broke the deadlock by means of their captain, Frederik Varga, who sent the ball home from inside the area after an assist from Grujović: 0-1 (50'). Immediately after, the home side replied: Kristian Matkobiš crossed from the right, Róbert Potoma headed towards the goal, the goalkeeper saved but the new reconverted goalscorer, Ján Ducár, was right there to put it in: 1-1 (53'). Despite the efforts of both teams to score the winning goal, the score remained the same until the final whistle came to conclude the draw.
