Impressive performance from Slovan Bratislava — that kind of composure after three straight losses shows real mental toughness. Medford Jr.’s ability to bounce back after nine turnovers and still put up those numbers is huge. Reminds me a bit of Geometry Dash Lite — sometimes you have to crash a dozen times before you finally nail the timing and make it through the level cleanly.
