International career

[edit]

Pačinda was first called up to the national team on 13 March 2018, when he was nominated for two fixtures at 2018 King's Cup by his former coach at Košice, Ján Kozák. Although he was benched for the first game against UAE (2–1 win), on 25 March 2018 he made his international debut against Thailand. Firstly, in the 34th minute he assisted Róbert Mak, who set the score to 2–0. Later on, in 67th minute Pačinda himself scored with a left-foot shot after receiving a pass from his former team-mate from MFK Košice, Ondrej Duda. Pačinda completed the entire match as a left-winger and contributed to Slovakia's 3–2 victory and second triumph in their second appearance at the King's Cup (the first was in 2004).
