In the 22nd round of the Prva liga Telemach in the princely city, we witnessed a match between the first-placed Celje and the last-placed Rogaška. Rogaška has proven to be a thorn in the side for every team in the top league so far this spring, but this time, the Slatinčani thwarted their own chances of winning points.
Unlike the previous two games, the guests from the spa town did not opt for substitutions during the first break, as Ajdin Mulalić started the match in the starting eleven. The first half was dominated by numerous opportunities for the Counts, but they suffered a blow in the 23rd minute when Mario Kvešić had to leave the field due to severe pain, and he was replaced by Tamar Svetlin. Seven minutes later, Celje managed to capitalize on their dominance; first, Mulalić brilliantly saved Egor Prutsev’s header from close range, but the ball rebounded to Aljoša Matko, who placed it into the empty net. A few moments later, the guests also had an excellent opportunity to score when Patrik Mijić found himself one-on-one with Celje’s goalkeeper, but the shot was stopped.
In the second half, the hosts took a long time to increase their lead, until the 64th minute when two own goals were scored by the guests within five minutes. First, in the 64th minute, Nino Milić sent a cross into the opposing penalty area where none of his teammates were present, and Tour Diaby awkwardly deflected it into his own net. In the 69th minute, there was another action in which Prutsev sought Sunday Adetunji in front of Mulalić’s goal, but the ball was intercepted into his own net by Di Mateo Lovrić. A few moments after the second own goal and skillful dribbling, Matko scored the last goal for the home team. After a mistake by Žan Karničnik, substitute Marko Prenkpalaj scored the honorary goal for Rogaška, marking his debut in the Prva liga Telemach.
