He also started in the duel against Ireland (3:0) and helped coach Jozef Marek's team to advance to the World Cup in Mexico. At the final tournament of the 1970 World Cup in Guadalajara, he played the entire match in the group stage against England (0:1), starting in the defensive four together with Migas, Dobiáš and Hagar.
