The players of Bravo hosted the recently well-performing team of Celje in the last Saturday match of the 10th round of the Slovenian championship and prepared a surprise, as they cooled down their guests with a 3:2 victory. The hosts took the lead as early as the 16th minute with a goal from Matej Poplatnik, but the Celje team quickly responded, with David Zec equalizing just seven minutes later. The second half was similarly tense. In the 78th minute, Bravo took the lead with a goal from Milan Tučić, but the guests from Celje equalized only four minutes later when Ange N’Guessan scored an own goal, at least according to the official record of the NZS. However, the victory remained at home in the 92nd minute, as Milan Tučić, with his second goal of the match, decided the duel in favor of Bravo.
Aleš Arnol, who celebrated his 40th birthday on the day of the match, was more than satisfied with the victory, which he described as the most beautiful birthday gift: “It was quite stressful. In addition to the match on the field, I also celebrated my milestone birthday. Keeping my focus on the game was a special challenge for me. The win was the best gift I could have wished for. I truly thank the players.”
In the post-match conversation, Aleš Arnol also touched on the extremely challenging conditions caused by heavy rainfall: “Football is played in all conditions, but this time they were really bad. There was water on the field, and later the pitch opened up. I hope there won’t be problems for national team matches at this stadium. After warming up, we changed the plan as the pitch didn’t allow for quick play.”
At the end, Arnol also praised Milan Tučić, who decided the match with his two goals: “Milan is a born striker. He has a true sense for goal. When there is a lot of space, he plays even better. I’m happy for him because he is an experienced player who always reacts maturely, even when he comes off the bench, and today he proved that with two goals.“
