Saša Kolman has made some changes to the national team ahead of this international window. Initially, only two players from the domestic league were called up to the national team, but two more responded to the call to join the national team camp. Mirjam Kastelec and Nika Pintarič were given the opportunity. The Slovenian team won the match against Moldova with good and patient play, but coach Saša Kolman was still not completely satisfied with certain aspects of the game. He hoped for a bigger victory against a theoretically weaker opponent, but our girls ended up winning 2-0.
Kolman and both scorers agree: “The match was tough”
“We suffered again. If I’m honest, I’m not entirely satisfied. We should have closed the game earlier. We need to start capitalizing on the opportunities we create. We get to the goal, but we can’t score. But okay: this was the first qualifying match, the girls were a bit tense. We really wanted this win and a good start, so I somehow forgive them. Let’s move on,” said coach Saša Kolman after the match.
“We prepared well, and the game was as we imagined. We were looking for those spaces between the lines in Moldova’s play. We also knew they would defend densely, and that we would have many opportunities. Everything happened, but we’ll still have to work on improving our finishing. However, I’m very happy because we achieved this first victory,” said the scorer of the first goal, Lara Prašnikar.
“The first qualifying match was tough, but we earned the win. I think we did our job well and achieved our goal. Moldova defended deep, there were few spaces between the lines in their game. But it was our goal to search for and exploit those spaces,” said the scorer of the second goal, Zala Kuštrin.
