Domžale’s first defeat this year

It says: Only Vidovich

The 26th round was opened by Bravo and CB24 Tabor at the ŽAKa stadium in Spodnja Šiška. The home team was expecting Sežana on the wings of a great victory from Maribor, they were expecting a new victory. The guests are struggling to survive, they desperately needed points.

The match was equal, the nets were at rest until the 24th minute. At that time, Stančič ran towards the home goal and beat the home goalkeeper Orbanić. Previously, Kramarič and Bajde tried at home, both without success.

There were no major opportunities until the end of the half.

In the 57th minute Ristić tried from a distance, Orbanić tamed the shot. Two minutes later, the home goalkeeper defended Mavretič’s shot.

The home team closed only in the 73rd minute, when Jakšić shot poorly after the crowd in the penalty area.

After 76 minutes, Bongonguija Kurtović sent a free kick in high over the penalty box.

In the last minutes, the guests moved back, the home team made every last effort to equalize the result. But they were not overly dangerous for the visitors’ goal, who kept the minimum lead until the end and won 1: 0.

The home team had extraordinary problems in organizing the attacks, the attackers often found themselves in an illegal position. They failed to repeat the games from previous rounds, especially in attack they played poorly, with no ideas. The match in Maribor obviously took away too much of their strength. They seemed tired, without freshness. The defeat is not tragic, but of course they can regret that they failed to confirm the victory from Maribor.

Sežanci fought heartily and deservedly won. For them, points are much more important, they want to avoid relegation or qualifications. They can be satisfied with the game, and of course with the result. It is positive for them that Stančič scored for the second time in a row, he is getting into shooting form. His goals will be much needed in the fight for survival.

Celje won at the Z’dežele stadium for the second time this year. With 2: 1, they were better than Domžale, who lost for the first time in the spring part of the season.

The start of the match belonged to the guests, Juril’s shot in the 10th minute was blocked by the home goalkeeper Rozman.

Celje took the lead in the 27th minute, when Morozov surprised the visitors’ defense with a deep ball, and the running-in Kuzmanović overtook the goalkeeper Mulalić with a lob.

Begić could have increased the lead in the 35th minute, but he missed the goal.

At the end of the half, Šoštarič-Karić and Jurilj also tried, both shooting past the home goal.

In the second half, the spectators waited a long time for the right opportunity. Only in the 84th minute was Saitoski close to equalizing, Rozman kicked into the corner.

A minute later, Mulalić prevented Sokler from scoring, but in the 86th minute, Mayevski only beat him. He hit the corner from the right.

Saitoski reduced the lead in the 88th minute, but only points remained in Celje.

The Celje team needed the victory very much, as the Sežana team also won today, so a possible defeat would put them in a dangerous situation. They can breathe a little easier with the victory, but they still have to collect as many points in the next rounds to break away from the last two teams.

Domžale could have achieved a better result, in the end they lost not only the match, but also Ibričić, who was excluded in the last minute of the match. They played a bit worse, yet there is no reason to panic. They have enough points for a peaceful continuation of the championship.

Koper played in Domžale against Kalcer from Radomelj. The people of Radom are in great shape this year, especially on tours. However, after the unfortunate loss of two points in the last match in Sežana, Koper urgently needed a victory in the fight for the title.

The guests entered the match without calculations and already in the 5th minute they had a nice opportunity to take the lead. Colleya was first stopped by the home goalkeeper Velić, Barišić sent the ball towards the goal, but it hit the captain of the home team Gučko.

In the 30th minute, he shot Đira from twenty meters, he missed by only a few centimeters.

It was only in the 36th minute that we saw the first dangerous action of the home team. Kregar passed from the left side, but Pogačar shot poorly in front of the goal.

In the 39th minute, a beautiful shot by Jelić-Balta Velić deflected into a corner.

Koper took the lead a minute before the end of the half. He hit Đira, this time he beat Velić from a similar distance as less than fifteen minutes earlier.

In the second half, we saw the first opportunity in the 57th minute, when Šarić’s header was saved by goalkeeper Koper Golubović.

In the 69th minute, Parris tried from the side, but he shot exactly at Velić.

In the second minute of extra time, Šarić could have equalized, but he was not successful. The final result of 1: 0 for Koper is also the fairest, considering what we saw in the match.

Radom is a different team on the home field than on the road. There is no way they can win, their game is much worse than away. They had a hard time coming to the opportunity, to the shots on the opposite door. They showed too little in the attack. Defeat pushed them back into the danger zone, the advantage over Tabor narrowed, the difference is only two points.

This time, Koper managed to keep the minimum lead, and with the victory they confirmed that they do not intend to give up the title of champion. They played very well in defense, Colley was the most popular in attack. Their victory is deserved, they were a better, more dangerous team. They can only worry that the attackers did not score from the game for the third game in a row.
