History seems to repeat itself when Radomlje hosts the municipal derby. The team led by Darjan Slavic this time, despite playing with one player less, defeated Domžale for the fourth consecutive time as the home team. Domžale has shown much less than expected this season.
The Millers were the first to threaten and were very close to scoring in the 10th minute, but Rok Štorman was denied by the goalpost. Less than ten minutes later, a reckless move by Uroš Korun in the penalty area, despite the ball being in play near the corner, brought down Daniel Offenbacher, earning him a direct send-off to the locker room.
At the start of the second half, specifically in the 54th minute, Radomljani managed to save the ball and prevent a goal on the goal line. A well-known football rule states: “If you don’t score, you concede,” and this was felt by the Yellow Family players. In the 78th minute, Stjepan Davidović made an excellent reception and sent the ball in front of the home goal, where Nino Kukovec headed the round leather into the unguarded part of the net. The minimal advantage of the hosts was enough for the first points of the season.
Is Erik Merdanović’s position as Domžale’s coach already in jeopardy?
In the Domžale camp, today’s slip almost certainly triggered the first alarms, as the former national champions have yet to earn a point after three matches this season. They have conceded the highest number of goals while scoring only two. To make matters worse, their next match is against Olimpija, who, under the leadership of Victor Sanchez, appear unstoppable.
