2. SNL
. Maribor played against Primor and defeated them in Ajdovščina. It finished 3:1 to the away team.
“The Cup competition does not allow for slip-ups. We faced an extremely challenging pitch and opponent, and challenging conditions in general. But our approach has cancelled out all the factors. With an approach that was right from start to finish. We have a higher quality, but this also needs to be confirmed on the pitch. The boys expressed it in the right way and earned themselves a well-deserved promotion. We have prepared for unpredictable situations. To play in windy or no wind. We had both plans, and we did everything with total focus. Now it’s easy to talk when it worked out well, but this time the most important thing was that the boys reacted properly.,” he told Ajdovščina after the match.

Ante Šimundža told the club’s website.
Defender Max Watson was also pleased with the result:”It is not easy to come to such venues and expect to win every time. We were aware that we were facing a tough match against a team from another league, with a different, early kick-off time. These are things to which we need to adapt. Also the wind, which made it difficult to play. We adapted very well in the first 60 minutes, maybe less in the last half hour, but we achieved what we came for, came home happy and can now focus on Sunday.”
Maribor will have a much tougher task on Sunday, away at Fazanerija, where they will face Mura. Ante Šimundža will return to Fazanerija for the first time after leaving Mura as coach of the opposing team.
