The representant of Slovakia under 21 years was ready. The reward for his hard training and great performance was his second strike in the Fortuna league. „I’m really happy about the goal. Hopefully this wasn’t the last moment like that, so I can help my team even this way,“ said the fosterling of AS.

The coaches told me, that we can’t use any other substitutions. So I asked them to go back to the pitch. I didn’t want to leave my friends in that bad situation,“ continued footballer, whose head is ornamented with a fresh five stitches.
