Celje took the next step towards the title of national champion, although it must be admitted that the players under Damir Krznar found it harder to secure a victory against Radomlje than expected. After all, the leaders and the last-placed team of the Prva Liga Telemach faced each other, yet the winner was only determined in extra time, with an own goal.
In the end, Celje still emerged victorious, ending with a 2:1 scoreline in favor of the home team, who secured the win in the 92nd minute. It was Rolando Aarons who was instrumental in the action, penetrating the penalty area and sending the ball across the goal, where experienced visiting defender Uroš Korun, once also a player for Celje, inadvertently pushed it into his own net.
An own goal had already occurred on the other side earlier, specifically in the 33rd minute, when Madžid Šošić delivered a corner kick, and home player Tamar Svetlin, while attempting to clear the ball, awkwardly redirected it into his own net. Celje had initially taken the lead in the 20th minute when captain Denis Popović skillfully penetrated the opposing team’s penalty area and beat the in-form Emil Velić with a precisely placed shot. Velić had a good day, and if the match had ended in a draw, it wouldn’t have been unjust. However, that was not the case, as Celje secured another victory, while Radomlje suffered another defeat, remaining at the bottom of the 1. SNL standings.
