The biggest loser of the Pivovarna Union Cup Grand Final? The decision is so easy that it could hardly be easier. Marko Tolic wasted an 11th-minute penalty at the end of regulation to win the game
Maribor
. This also happens… But the problem is not the missed 11th-minute penalty. The problem is how Marko Tolić has squandered it. And the footballer from neighbouring Croatia is aware that he committed an unprecedented stupidity in the match against Olimpija.
“Hours pass, but feelings do not change. These are the most painful moments in football. After the final match in Celje, we didn’t get much sleep, we lost the trophy in a big upset. to the fullest extent, regardless of the referee’s decisions at the end of the match, because of my recklessness, and I must take this opportunity to respond and apologise for my irresponsible behaviour. The move I made by deciding to take the 11th metre in this way is unacceptable. Above all, it is unacceptable to our teammates, the professional management, the whole club and the fans who supported us in Celje in such large numbers, as well as to all those who supported us at home, when watching the TV broadcast or who live with the violet pulse every day,” is for

‘The blame is entirely mine’
The Dinamo Zagreb loanee continued.I have got to know very well what FC Maribor means to people since I was 26. last August, when I crossed the threshold of Ljudski vrt. Every victory, every success of the team, I was looking forward to it and I tried to do my best to contribute in the form of goals, assists or on the pitch. It is sad that I have put myself in a position where my 9 months in Maribor will now be judged by this missed 11th metre. But the blame lies entirely with me. I made the wrong decision, and I must accept responsibility for the unacceptable action and the consequences. I thank the fans who send me messages of support, but I am aware that something happened that should not have happened and I know that I will not forgive myself for Saturday’s reckless move. Never!”
