After a few poorly played matches, Celje bounced back in grand style. The leading club in the Prva liga Telemach deservedly defeated Koper at Bonifika with three goals from the exceptional Aljoša Matko. Koper, which continues to struggle in the league, succumbed to Celje with a score of 3-1, and Damir Krznar couldn’t hide his satisfaction after the match.
“Congratulations to the team. A fantastic win for us. We had control of the game throughout the match. Our aggression was evident from the first minutes, a step forward, attacking their defensive line. We took away many balls from them in their half. They became insecure and nervous. We were direct and fast with the ball. Edi played a good game and contributed a lot to the team. Due to the poor pitch conditions, we tried to play with long balls, where Matko and Menalo attacked the depth well. Many things worked well, and in the end, the result reflected that,” Krznar said after the match on the Coast, as reported on the club’s website.
The Croatian expert also commented on Aljoša Matko’s excellent performance, who climbed to the top of the Prva liga Telemach’s top scorer list with a hat-trick: “A fantastic comeback. I know how it feels when a player returns after a long absence, a really excellent response. It shows how mentally strong he is, what willpower he has. Because he is like that, it also returns to him in that he performs well.”
