Many were convinced that Spain, featuring prospects from both Barcelona and Real Madrid, would heavily score against Slovenia, but Mišo Brečko, who played with the youth team in the European Championship last year, has proven as a youth coach that he is an expert in remarkable achievements. Slovenia concluded the opening match of the decisive round of qualifications for the Euro with a surprising draw, ending 1-1 in Lendava.
Mišo Brečko, after the match where Slovenia took the lead with a single attacking move and an excellent goal by Lucas Maček, a player from Celje, did not hide his satisfaction, although there were also things that didn’t entirely please him.
“I think we played a good match,” Mišo Brečko told the NFS website and continued: “At times, we suffered a lot, but the guys showed very brave play, from the first to the last minute. Unfortunately, we conceded a goal from a set-piece. When you play against such a strong opponent, you can’t afford that. Set-pieces are our good weapon, but they didn’t work for us this time. The 1-1 result is respectable.”
Slovenia will play their second match in the tournament on Saturday, facing Austria. The latter surprisingly lost to Kosovo in the first round, with Kosovo currently leading in Group 1 after the first round. It is worth noting that only the first place leads to the final tournament.
