Slovan from Bratislava kicked off the spring part of the season in the best possible way. Kenan Bajrić and teammates literally overwhelmed Žilina in an away match, extending their lead over the closest pursuers to a whopping 10 points. The Slovenian defender started the match in the starting eleven of the visiting team.
The team from the Slovak capital didn’t take long to score the first goal, as Tigran Barseghyan found the back of the home net in the 9th minute after a pass from David Strelec. Another opportunity arose for Bajrić and his teammates in the 36th minute when they were awarded a penalty for a handball in the home penalty area. Although Lubomir Belko initially saved Vladimir Weiss Jr.’s penalty shot, the latter netted the rebound into the empty goal.
In the second half, the visiting team completed their task and confirmed the victory with two more goals. First, experienced midfielder Jaba Kankava found the net eight minutes before the end of regular time, and then Gerson Rodrigues sealed the final score (0:4) from the penalty spot just before the end.
Slovan faces an away match in Graz on Thursday, where Kenan Bajrić and his Sturm will meet Jon Gorenc Stanković and Tomi Horvat in the Round of 16 of the Conference League.
