Nigel Worthington saw his Northern Ireland side give a lung-bursting display in the Slovakian sun but they had nothing to show for their efforts at the end of it.
Instead the province were again left to reflect on an opening-day 2-1 defeat in a qualifying campaign.
This is the the fourth time in a row they have started with a loss, although it was close-run thing.
Goals from Martin Skrtel and Marek Hamsik put Slovakia in the driving seat before Northern Ireland were thrown a lifeline in the 81st minute.
Jan Durica diverted a cross from substitute Chris Brunt into his own net but that was as good as it got for Worthington's side.
