On the bench for Maribor were both Mark Strajnar and Gregor Sikošek, but when it became clear that Martin Milec could not continue the Styrian derby due to pain, Ante Šimundža made a rather unexpected move. The position of the left full-back was taken by Behar Feta, a 21-year-old from North Macedonia, who by basic football education is a winger. Nevertheless, he showed enough to earn praise from Šimundža after the match.
“He’s doing great, he also plays in that position in training, as well as in the national team,” Ante Šimundža explained initially why Behar Feta, who was also just a few millimeters away from scoring his first goal for Maribor against Celje, was chosen over the mentioned teammates.
The coach of vijoličasti from Ljudski vrt continued: “Sikošek is not yet ready for so many minutes after a long break. It’s a shame about the missed opportunity; despite his youth and great desire, it didn’t work out for him. But many bigger players have missed similar situations; some have even missed open goals. This should not take away his will and desire but should give him even greater motivation. Next time, Feta will score.”
