The month of May didn’t start in the best possible way for Spartak from Trnava, the Slovak club, whose members include two young Slovenians. Spartak faced an unexpected defeat in the final of the Slovak Cup against Ružomberok on May 1st in Košice in front of 8764 spectators. Spartak, the favorite, failed to confirm its status. Adrian Zeljković and his teammates (currently injured Miha Kompan Breznik did not play) left the field with heads bowed.
Fate had it that Spartak and Ružomberok faced each other again just a few days later, specifically on Saturday, when the Trnava club sought revenge against its cup nemesis. The league match also ended 1:0, but this time in favor of Spartak, who maintained their second position in the standings with this victory. They are fiercely competing with Žilina, who defeated the newly crowned champion Slovan from Bratislava away. Spartak and Žilina are tied in points.
However, Spartak celebrated a 1:0 victory on Saturday, with the only goal scored by Adrian Zeljković, who celebrated his fifth goal of the season. The 21-year-old former player of Olimpija and Tabor found the net in the 21st minute, earning a 7.4 rating from SofaScore, making him the third-highest-rated player for Spartak.
