Ante Šimundža brings back the fans and immediately leads Maribor to victory: the Violistas deservedly beat Mura in front of 4500 spectators
Life after Damir Krznar started in a good way in the Styrian capital. Ante Šimundža returned to Ljudski vrt and brought his fans with him. Match with Mura which was Šimundza’s 100th as Maribor coach, wasw atched by 4,500 spectators. THEY saw a deserved home win. Maribor scored three goals, conceded one and won 3:1. Jan Repas shone, scoring all three goals. He scored one himself, and passed for two.
Maribor took the lead after half an hour of play when Marcel Lorber crossed the ball from the right side into the centre, Jan Repas struck the ball and sent it along the ground behind Klemn Mihelak’s back . Mura equalised right after that, with Dardan Shabanhaxhaj, who has been hot again this season, shining. The former Sturm Graz player made a fast break and fired a shot along the ground that was accurate enough to bring Ažbe Jug down. Maribor regained the lead before the end of the half, when they scored their first goal in 1. SNL’s Hillal Soudani. Ignacio Guerrico made a masterful cross from the right wing, with both Repas and Soudani on the ball, and the Algerian eventually sent it into the Mura net.
Maribor sealed the victory in 52. In the first minute, Mura naively wasted the ball in front of their own penalty area. Repas got to it, passed it to Marcel Lorber, and the Maribor teenager scored with a well-timed shot from the edge of the penalty area. The youngster celebrated his debut in the purple jersey. After 3:1, the game settled down. And both home and away could have scored more, but the fact is that the hosts took the game to the end quite calmly and deservedly came away with three points. It should be added that Josip Iličić also returned to the pitch in the second half, but Krznar sidelined him and Šimundža immediately threw him back into the fire.
