Not just Timi Max Elšnik and Vanja Drkušić, but also Kenan Bajrić secured his spot in the Champions League on Wednesday evening. For Bajrić, this will be the first time in his career to taste the excitement of playing in the world’s most prestigious club competition. Slovan Bratislava hosted Midtjylland in Bratislava, after a 1-1 draw in the first leg in Denmark. The atmosphere in the Slovakian capital was electric, and the celebrations could begin 90 minutes after the start of the match, which brought Slovan a historic success. But what a match it was – a real nail-biter!
Slovan, who had previously knocked out Celje on their path to glory, entered the final 10 minutes of the game trailing 1-2. When the match ended, they emerged victorious with a 3-2 win. The hero for the home side was Marko Tolić, a former Maribor player, who scored two goals. He netted the first in the 33rd minute, giving Slovan the lead, and the second in the 82nd minute to equalize at 2-2. Tigran Barseghyan secured Slovan’s place in the Champions League with a goal in the 86th minute.
Kenan Bajrić started the match as expected and remained on the field of Slovakia’s largest stadium until the final whistle. Slovan, who faced Olimpija in the Conference League last year (with Olimpija winning in Bratislava), will now play in the Champions League for the first time in their history.
