Slovan to decide Champions League qualification in return match after Celje draw

The Bratislava team took to the field at the National Football Stadium with a bold lineup chosen by coach Yaya Touré. From the start, rookie Roman Čerepkai was also given playing time, and according to post-match reactions, he experienced his debut with mixed feelings. Before the match, police warned drivers of possible traffic restrictions around the stadium, particularly on Bajkalská Street, Viktor Tegelhoff Street, Príkopová and Kalinčiaková Street. sport.sk ↗
The 1:1 result leaves the two-legged tie open, but post-match assessments particularly highlighted Slovan's performance after the break. Celje maintained its hopes of progression in Bratislava and, according to assessments, achieved its objective for the first meeting. Slovan will thus have to fight for a place in the league phase on the Slovenian champions' home ground. ta3.com ↗
The return match in Slovenia will be decisive for both teams. Slovan remains in contention for qualification, but after the home draw no longer has a result advantage. The place in the main phase of the Champions League will only be decided by the second match of the pair. SITA ↗
