Maribor defeated Domžale 4:1 in Ljudski vrt on Sunday in front of 2150 spectators. One of the heroes of the home team was Niko Grlić, the barely 17-year-old Maribor youth, who scored the first goal of the match. Ante Šimundža, the coach of the Styrian giant, was understandably pleased with the performance of the hot 17-year-old, who had already made an impression in the European match against Botev, and this time crowned his good form with a debut goal in the Prva liga Telemach.
“He took advantage of the opportunity. The goal was a gift, but his reaction was excellent. Especially since he scored with his left foot. In the first half, he met the requirements. In the second, he dropped a bit, which is understandable with such a leap. It won’t be good if he is already satisfied with this,” emphasized Ante Šimundža after the match in the Styrian capital. Niko Grlić made good use of a huge mistake by Domžale’s goalkeeper Ajdin Mulalić, who had already had the ball in his possession but surprisingly let it slip from his hands. The teenager did not hesitate, placed the ball on his left foot, and sent it into the net with a well-placed shot against the yellow team.
