Šamorín 2:1 Žilina II: 2. liga Match Result

Match report

Šamorín secured a 2-1 victory over Žilina II on Saturday in the sixth round of the Second League's regular season. The hosts found themselves behind for the first time in the second half before M. Pekelsky turned the game around with a late goal. The result keeps Šamorín in second place with five wins from six matches.

V. Bajtos gave Šamorín the lead in the twenty-seventh minute, a goal that settled the early uncertainty. Žilina II responded quickly, and A. Ibrahim went off with a yellow card just before the half-hour mark. The visitors equalised through O. Ihejirika in the fifty-seventh minute, and the match opened up from there.

Šamorín restored their advantage in the sixty-ninth minute when M. Pekelsky scored. The momentum shifted again when L. Bubuteishvili was sent off in the seventy-fourth minute, leaving Žilina II to defend their point with ten men. P. Varga picked up a yellow card shortly after the dismissal, and the visitors struggled to create clear opportunities.

The statistics tell a straightforward story. Šamorín had 51 per cent of possession and fired ten shots on target, while Žilina II managed only five shots on target despite slightly more attacks overall. The hosts were more efficient in front of goal, and the extra man helped them control the final stages.

Šamorín now sit on fifteen points in second place, one win away from a perfect start to the campaign. Žilina II remain in sixth place on ten points after three wins, a draw and two defeats. The gap between the sides has widened after this encounter.
