In the Slovak Cup match between FC Tatran Presov and MFK Skalica, the home team clinched a 3-2 victory in a closely contested encounter. Presov demonstrated clinical finishing, evidenced by their three goals, with significant contributions from their key forwards early and late in each half. The goals at the start of each half put Skalica on the back foot, and while Skalica fought back, they couldn't overturn the deficit.

Both teams were evenly matched in terms of corner kicks, with each securing four opportunities throughout the match. However, Presov's ability to capitalize on these set-piece situations and break the ice early in both halves gave them the upper hand. In contrast, Skalica's efforts fell short despite a higher aggression level in the second half, which could be seen in their improved attacking plays and attempts on the goal.

Presov's defensive organization was apparent, significantly limiting Skalica's chances through effective offside traps, catching them offside four times compared to the single instance against Presov. The discipline at the back, despite receiving two yellow cards, played a vital role in maintaining their lead. Skalica, although showing resilience and earning a goal in each half, struggled to maintain possession and penetrate the organized home defense consistently.

The impact of yellow cards was also crucial, with Presov navigating the tension well, even after picking up a second caution early in the second half. In contrast, Skalica's solitary yellow card late in the game did little to hinder their momentum, but their inability to convert set-pieces and capitalize on their fewer offside offenses underlined where the match could have been won for them. Presov's tactical execution and timing in front of the goal were the defining factors that secured their advancement in the competition.
