The second day of the quarterfinal matches in the Pivovarna Union Cup brought the first surprise, as Gorica swept aside Radomlje in the city of roses, who recently parted ways with head coach Oliver Bogatinov. The victory of Novo Gorica has already confirmed that half of the semi-finalists will be teams from the 2. SNL.
The initiative was initially taken by the millers, who took the lead in the 10th minute of the match after a cross from Elvis Letaj and a header from Nino Kukovec. However, the visitors’ advantage did not last until halftime, as Haris Kadrić equalized in the 34th minute from a similar situation.
Kadrić’s goal clearly gave the hosts a huge boost, as in the ninth minute of the second half, after a run by Luka Marjanac, they were awarded a penalty kick, which Emil Velić managed to save, but Luka Baruca had another opportunity after the rebound, which he did not miss.
Both home scorers contributed to increasing the lead in the 60th minute, after Radomlje players exerted strong pressure for some time. Baruca chested the ball down, and Kadrić slotted it home from the turn. Thirteen minutes before the end of regular time, Marjanac dispelled doubts about the winner.
