Ante Šimundža is convinced that Mura’s victory at the green table would not be fair: ‘Why should we be left without points? How is sports connected to this?”

Before the Thursday match against Bravo, Ante Šimundža, the coach of Maribor, appeared before the journalists at Ljudski vrt and, as expected, responded to the pressing question about whether it would be fair for the Sunday match to be registered as a 3:0 victory for Mura due to the unruly behavior of the Styrian giant’s fans.
Ante Šimundža is convinced that such a decision by the disciplinary judge of the Slovenian Football Association would not be fair.
“Why should we lose points? How is sports connected to this? As a team, neither we nor Mura gave cause for the match to be interrupted. Should sports be punished for something else? Should someone else be punished for someone else’s misdeeds?” Ante Šimundža was sharp. Recall that his team was leading 2:0 in Fazanerija before the interruption.
Ante Šimundža: “Zero tolerance for everything”
“I think about football, but I have zero tolerance for everything that happened. I think about sports, and I don’t see a reason for sports to be punished for this. We cannot be punished for someone we have no control over,” added Ante Šimundža, who approached the Viol supporters after the unfortunate incident in Murska Sobota. But what did he tell them?
“When everything turned negative, my intention was to communicate with them and see what was going on. There was no sign of aggression from the side of the Viol, they did not want to jump over the fence; they wanted to support. That was the entire communication from my side,” explained the 52-year-old Maribor coach.
