mšk Žilina have already made one piece of unwanted history in the uefa champions league this season and approach their group f finale against fc spartak moskva eager to avoid any more.
róbert jež says mšk Žilina are determined to bow out on a high when they face fc spartak moskva, with the uefa champions league debutants eager to pick up their first points in group f.
in 1997/98 another slovakian outfit, 1. fc košice, became the first side to lose all six of their group stage matches. the same fate has since befallen nine more teams – before this term – and few would bet against Žilina adding to the list. not though, midfielder jež, who says wednesday's game represents his side's "last chance to prove that we belong in the champions league".
"we're looking forward to some deserved rest after the game," added the 29-year-old, whose side's domestic campaign is already over until the end of february. "but before that we will be playing as if our lives depend on it. we want to go into our holidays in better mood so we can enjoy christmas in high spirits."
coach pavel hapal has spoken of his pride in the way his players are approaching a game that means little on paper – Žilina are destined to finish fourth, spartak third. yet no side wants an unwanted place in the history books, let alone three. aside from the risk of failing to pick up a point, if the slovakian titleholders concede three goals, as they did when these sides met in russia in september, they will set a new mark of 20 goals conceded in a group stage.
heavy defeats in slovakia by chelsea fc (4-1) and olympique de marseille (7-0) – the latter a competition record for a home game – have done much of the damage. "we have played some decent matches in this group, especially in marseille and london," said jež. "unfortunately we have also suffered painful losses in moscow and at home against marseille, and we are still without a point." Žilina hope to put that right on wednesday.
the slovakian titleholders ended their group f campaign without a point after spartak came from behind to win.
fc spartak moskva came from behind to beat mšk Žilina 2-1 in uefa champions league group f thanks to goals from brazilian midfield pair alex and ibson.
tomáš majtán gave the home side a surprise lead early in the second half but alex's equaliser for spartak arrived within six minutes. the midfield playmaker then turned provider in the 61st minute when he crossed for ibson to score the winner.
following a 20-minute halt in proceedings after fireworks were thrown onto the pitch, spartak had the best of the first half. nonetheless, they squandered a series of chances with alex the main culprit, particularly when he fired an aiden mcgeady cross wide from close range on the half-hour mark. after conceding four first-half goals apiece in their home ties against chelsea fc and olympique de marseille, Žilina must have been pleased to reach the interval on level terms.
spartak's first-half wastefulness was punished after 48 minutes when majtán climbed unopposed in the area to head a tomáš oravec free-kick past andriy dykan. the home fans' ecstasy was short-lived, however, when ibson sent alex clear with the outside of the boot in the 54th minute to rifle a left-footed drive past martin dúbravka.
pavel hapal's men found themselves behind soon after when alex was released on the left of the box and his whipped pass across the goalmouth was touched in by ibson. the brazilian's night was soured soon after his goal, though, when he was dismissed in the 77th minute for a foul on substitute emil rilke.
Žilina battled until the end and although momodou ceesay went close with a header in the 80th minute the equaliser did not arrive, leaving the slovakian titleholders without a point in their debut group stage campaign. spartak go into the round of 32 draw for the uefa europa league.
