This way, it definitely won’t work! At least as far as Maribor is concerned… But for Primorje – an exceptional win! Milan Anđelković brought Boštjan Cesar to his knees and handed him his first defeat as Maribor’s coach. The Ajdovci prepared a kind of sensation in Nova Gorica, finishing 2-0 against the newcomers in the Prva liga Telemach.
For Cesar, just like the loss, it will be concerning that Primorje truly deserved the win. The red-and-blacks played a really good match, and they got the points even though they had to play without Alexander Stožinič, who was sent off in the 60th minute. Maribor had half an hour with an extra player, but they couldn’t avoid a disappointing end.
Primorje took the lead in the 39th minute when Mark Gulič burst through toward Maribor’s goal after a lost ball and then hit the post, with the ball bouncing into the net past Ažbet Jug. In the 56th minute, Žan Bešir confirmed that Maribor is his favorite opponent. After a quick counterattack, Matic Zavnik provided the assist, and Bešir finished with a shot in the bottom right corner.
After the red card, Maribor pressed toward Primorje’s goal, but without success. In the 81st minute, Benjamin Tetteh scored, but in the process, he brought down the home defender Gašper Petek. The goal was initially awarded, but after a video review, it was disallowed. Maribor continued to push, but to no avail. Primorje held on and celebrated one of the most notable wins of the 2024/25 season!
