MŠK Žilina footballers were eliminated on Thursday, July 16, in the 1st qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League, despite beating Hajduk Split 2:1 in the home leg. After losing 0:2 in the first match in Croatia, they still needed one more goal to advance or at least force extra time. ta3.com ↗
Žilina entered the return leg with a two-goal deficit, but according to available information, they bid farewell to the European competition with their heads held high. In the opening match away to the favored Hajduk, they created several chances but failed to convert them into a result that would have secured a better position ahead of the home match. teraz.sk ↗
The return match at the Štadión pod Dubňom was accompanied by a full stadium and a strong fan atmosphere. Chants rang out from both the north and south stands, and the match also required security measures. Police implemented measures related to the match, including temporary traffic restrictions around the stadium. sport.sk ↗
Hajduk Split secured their advancement to the 2nd qualifying round despite the narrow defeat in Žilina. For the Croatian club, it was their first ever advancement past a Slovak opponent in European competition qualifying. Žilina thus ended their Europa League campaign after just the first qualifying round, with their performance in the return leg marked by the fact that they were just one goal short of forcing extra time. teraz.sk ↗
