Žiga Frelih is enjoying football in Slovakia once again and his performances are certainly catching attention. Not long ago, we wrote that the former member of Olimpija is the highest-rated player of the season at MFK Zemplin Michalovce (which is still the case), and now Žiga Frelih has once again made headlines in Slovakian football media.
The 26-year-old from Slovenia shone in the match against Trenčín, who entered the battle as favorites for victory but couldn’t find a way past the home team’s goalkeeper. Žiga Frelih made four saves, including a penalty stop in the 16th minute by Artur Gajdoš. The goalkeeper, who has previously proven himself in Croatia, Portugal, and Spain, received a rating of 8 from the SofaScore website and was the best player of the match.
Frelih’s club is currently second to last in the relegation league table. They have already secured at least relegation playoffs, with Zlate Moravce trailing by 13 points. However, direct survival is not impossible either, with Košice, the club of Žan Medved, holding just a three-point lead. If the Slovenian goalkeeper continues to perform so well, anything is possible.
