In the match which was held at Senica’s cage, Sunday (20/2/2022), coach Pavel Sustr indeed re-installed the duo Egy and Witan as a starter. This is the second time that the Indonesian national team pair have played together from the start after last week’s 0-5 defeat to Slovan Bratislava.
Unfortunately, the duo Egy and Witan still haven’t been able to deliver positive results. Senica was forced to lose again, this time with a score of 1-2. They also had to be willing to go down in the Fortuna Liga standings to eighth.

Witan, who played 90 minutes against Slovan, was withdrawn this time in the 69th minute. He and Egy were simultaneously replaced by Dominik Duda and Cyriaque Mayounga Ngolou in the 69th minute.
Despite losing, it turns out that coach Sered was worried about the presence of Egy and Witan in the Senica squad. Although he did not mention specific names, Jarabek admitted that he respects the existence of interesting players in the Senica squad.

“We did predict a tough fight in the race for sixth place. We want to win and don’t want to wait for the last game. At the same time, we respect the qualities of Senica, because they are very aggressive. They have interesting players and play a combination game,” said Jarabek, quoted by Football5star from the Slovak media.
Witan Sulaeman’s arrival failed to help Senica win the top six positions
Although admiring the presence of players who made Senica appear attacking, Jarabek actually saw a gap. Hole in the host defense that Sered’s players finally exploited.
“We knew when they opened the game they would be vulnerable in defence, and that’s proven. We were able to make good use of some counter-attacking situations. But most importantly, we optimize it by achieving the desired results,” said Jarabek again.
The defeat of Sered means that FK Senica will certainly fail to take sixth place in the Fortuna Liga final standings. The reason is, with a distance of 5 points and one game remaining, the best position that can be achieved Witan Sulaeman and friends are only seventh level.
That way, Senica will fail to fight in the winner’s group stage between the first to sixth place. They will only fight in the relegation group which is filled with seventh to 12th rank.
