Match Report
Slovan Bratislava and Celje played out a 1–1 draw in their UEFA Champions League play-off encounter, with both goals arriving in the first half. Roman Čerepkai broke the deadlock for the visitors in the 15th minute, only for Milot Avdyli to level for Slovan just before the break. Kenan Bajrić picked up a yellow card in first-half stoppage time as tensions rose heading into the interval.
The second half produced no further goals despite a flurry of substitutions from both sides. Avdyli, who had scored the equaliser, was booked again at 59 minutes — though he avoided a second yellow — while César Blackman and Mark Zabukovnik also entered the referee's notebook in the closing stages. Slovan's late introductions of Tigran Barseghyan and Mario Kvesić failed to conjure a winner.
The stats reflected a closely contested affair, with Celje edging possession at 51% but Slovan generating more attempts overall with 13 total shots. The pre-match AI model had rated a Slovan win as the most likely outcome at 53%, and while the hosts avoided defeat, a draw means the tie remains finely balanced ahead of the second leg.
