In the youth team of Frosinone, Tai Matea Panić did not play as much as he undoubtedly wished, so in the winter transfer window, he made the expected and wise decision. The young Slovenian, who is 20 years old, changed employers, donning the uniform of Gladiator. Tai Matea Panić swapped Primavera for Serie D, and his debut in the fourth Italian league was a dream come true.
The Primorje native and his new teammates faced Nuova Florida at home. The spectators – around 600 of them – witnessed six goals and Gladiator’s 4-2 victory. Tai Matea Panić started the game in the starting eleven and remained on the field until the 77th minute.
But the debut was not only a dream because of the victory but also because he found the net. In the 33rd minute, Tai Matea Panić was in the right place at the right time after an action in the opponent’s penalty area. He reached the ball after a shot from his teammate and the opposing team’s goalkeeper’s save. With a powerful shot, he sent the rebound under the crossbar and into the net of Nuova Florida.
Gladiator desperately needed the win; in the case of a defeat, they would have fallen to the bottom of the Serie D Group G standings. With the victory, they maintained the 16th place, which leads to the additional qualification for survival, reducing the gap to four points behind this round’s opponent, who is one place higher.
