It was during the last edition of the UEFA Nations League that Azerbaijan travelled to Trnava and came away with a dramatic injury-time win after the host equalized in the 93rd minute.
Forward Hojjat Haghverdi wasn’t to be put off by that late disruption and won the match in the 95th minute, with Azerbaijan ultimately finishing second in their group and just missing out on promotion to League B.
Slovakia finished three points below them in third and have once again been sorted into the same group, hopeful their Euro 2024 run will help build momentum for the competitions to come.
The Slovaks led England 1-0 until the dying seconds in Gelsenkirchen and would have advanced to Euro 2024’s final eight were it not for Real Madrid ace Jude Bellingham intervening:
That overhead finish dashed Slovak spirits in nightmarish circumstances, but Slovakia has a chance to in part make up for that miss by topping its Nations League group.
They line up against Sweden and Estonia in Group C1 and will be targeting revenge against Azerbaijan, now managed by Fernando Santos, who won Euro 2016 while in charge of Portugal.
