Aleksandar Radosavljević has no reason to be in a good mood at the beginning of his club career: Koper disappointed again, Rogaška celebrates a big victory

The penultimate match of the 24th round of the Slovenian league took place at Bonifika, where they have been waiting for a top-league victory since October last year. And indeed, they will have to wait a little longer. Koper disappointed once again; the new coach, Aleksandar Radosavljević, can’t seem to find a way to awaken the team that is completely out of form at the beginning of the new year. Rogaška took advantage of this and, with another good performance, secured their fifth league victory, actively joining the intense battle for survival.
Koper took the lead before Rogaška could make a classic move at the start of the match. However, it was far from being the fault of the young Žan Lorber for the goal scored by Timothe Nkada. Rather, it goes to the defense of Rogaška, which, after a good minute, was still somewhere else, not on the field… Nkada scored after 1 minute and 36 seconds. Lorber then left the game, Ajdin Mulalić stepped between the goalposts, and Rogaška woke up, ensuring a turnaround before the end of the first half. Once again, Patrik Mijić shone, equalizing on his own after a pass from Gal Kurež to make it 1-1 with a header. For the second goal, scored in the first minute of extra time in the opening half, Oliver Kregar pushed the ball into the Koper goal after Mijić’s shot.
Rogaška had excellent opportunities for a third goal at the beginning of the second half when Koper “failed in defense,” or Nkada slipped while clearing the ball, and Alen Korošec hit the post from a very favorable position. In the 58th minute, the visiting captain, Rok Pirtovšek, demonstrated dedication by throwing himself under the ball just when it seemed that Nik Omladič would have a clear path to the goal. Despite significant territorial dominance by Koper, Mulalić, who kept the home team at bay, was on hand several times to ensure Rogaška’s lead didn’t slip away.
Koper had a whopping 11-minute-long stoppage time to level the score, but even that wasn’t enough for the yellow-blue team to score a goal and at least secure a point.
