MŠK Považská Bystrica beat FC ViOn Zlaté Moravce 2-1 in 2. Liga, taking the points despite seeing far less of the ball. Adrián Kačerík and Rudolf Bozik scored either side of the interval to put the home side in control, and although Adam Pudil pulled one back, Považská Bystrica held on.
Kačerík opened the scoring in the 36th minute, converting after Michal Mynar's assist. Bozik doubled the lead on 70 minutes, and that proved decisive when Pudil reduced the deficit five minutes later for ViOn.
ViOn dominated the underlying numbers, with 67% possession, 15 shots to 11 and six corners to three. Yet Považská Bystrica were clinical when it mattered, putting six shots on target and defending their lead after the away side's late response.
