In the third round of the Niké League play-offs, three key matches took place with an impact on the standings. The most notable result was achieved by MŠK Žilina, which defeated FC DAC 1904 Dunajská Streda 3:1 in a direct duel for second place. Žilina thus drew level on points with its rivals in the fight for the top positions in the table. The match began excellently for the home side, who created pressure already at the start of the game. Dunajská Streda entered the match after a week's break caused by a viral illness, which did not go without affecting their performance. teraz.sk ↗
AS Trenčín continued its positive results, convincingly defeating MFK Ružomberok 3:1. Trenčín thus managed to break their opponent's unfavorable run, as Ružomberok had been on a five-match winless streak. A winter signing contributed to the home side's successful result at Sihoť. After this victory, Trenčín moved up to seventh place, on a provisional basis, in the relegation play-off table. sport.sk ↗
The results of the third round of the play-offs are thus significantly shaping the order of the competition. Žilina's victory over DAC strengthened its position in the fight for the title, while Trenčín is gradually improving its situation in the lower part of the table. Both teams have further matches ahead of them that will be decisive for their final placement in the season. sport.sk ↗
