MŠK Žilina suffered a 3-2 defeat against DAC in a league encounter where the visitors held the lead on three separate occasions. Krisztián Bari, a key figure for Žilina, managed to equalize in the second half to bring the score to 2-2, momentarily delighting the home supporters. However, the joy was short-lived as Ammar Ramadan scored the decisive third goal for DAC shortly after Žilina had seized the initiative.

Following the final whistle, Bari highlighted the physical toll of the match, noting that constantly having to chase the game was extremely demanding for his team. He expressed regret that Žilina failed to capitalize on their opportunities to take a 3-2 lead, believing that such a goal would have likely secured a victory. Bari described his own goal as a product of spotting space and aiming for the far corner, while acknowledging that the goalkeeper inadvertently assisted the finish.

The match held significant personal meaning for Bari, as his father, a former league footballer, accompanied him onto the pitch before kick-off as part of a club-organized event. Bari described the experience as emotionally exceptional, stating that he had been happy since the morning and felt heightened emotions walking out of the tunnel. Despite this personal highlight, the player was disheartened by the low turnout, with only 3,063 spectators attending what was considered a major fixture.
