After ten rounds without a single win, bottom of the table 1. FK Svidník succeeded an unexpected first win this season against one of the main favourites for promotion, ŠK Odeva Lipany. Truth be told, the visitors dominated most of the match, had plenty of chances, but it was not their day.
The game even started with a series of opportunities, missed incredibly by Lipany forwards, two of them involving either the ball hitting the side post or the crossbar, the second one from very close range, in a position where it is more difficult to miss than to score. After the first ten minutes however, the home side began to balance the game, and to show some character offensively, especially on counterattack. The visitors still had the biggest chances, but 1. FK Svidník looked dangerous in some moments.
And the decisive moment of the game came in the 34th minute, exactly after Odeva Lipany missed another clear opportunity. 1. FK Svidník launched a counterattack, Oliver Reiter passed to Marek Vasil', who only stopped in the opposite box, on the left, to move the ball for the right foot, and his shot went straight to the upper corner, hitting the target: 1-0 (34').
In the second half, the visitors attacked continuously. After a throw from the right side, the ball landed on Oliver Reiter's hand in the box, and the referee awarded a penalty. Nevertheless, Mário Jacko's shot was weak and low, and Anton Dzupina saved (50'). This was another important psychological moment of the match, when Odeva Lipany players lost confidence that they can win the game. Despite this, a few minutes later they received some help, when Matúš Lukčo was sent off, after receiving a second yellow card for a useless foul in midfield (56').
Down to ten men, 1. FK Svidník resorted to an aggresive defense, in front of a team, Odeva Lipany, unable to break through. Goalkeeper Anton Dzupina became one of the heroes of the game, saving and blocking everything that went beyond the two defensive lines. Even in stoppage time, the visitors had two big chances to equalize, one after the other (90'+2').
Immediately after these chances, tensions erupted near Anton Dzupina's goal. Several players pushed each other and probably said things to each other. The referee awarded several yellow cards, but also a straight red card for Svidník's only foreign player in this game, Pablo Dos Santos (90'+3').
Even with two men less, 1. FK Svidník resisted up until the final whistle, winning their first game this season.
