The opening match of the Prva Liga Telemach after the October international break took place in Celje, where we witnessed a battle between the current and former champions. The Štajerci welcomed Mura to the princely city, who initially took flight on the wings of a former Celje striker, but the Prekmurci, despite leading 2-0, ended up without a victory. Even more, Celje celebrated three points, responding to their deficit with four goals in just 17 minutes! The match ended with a score of 4:3, giving Celje at least a temporary leap to the top of the league table.
In the first match of the 12th round of the 1. SNL, which was attended by 1420 spectators, we saw practically everything football has to offer. There were some beautiful goals, a dramatic turnaround, mistakes, a red card, and a penalty kick—it was so lively that it would be hard to be more so! Mura started like a dream. In the eighth minute, Klemen Nemanič lost the ball in front of his own goal. Dario Vizinger stole it from him and then, after a clever pass from Amadej Maroša, became the scorer of the first goal of the match.
Although Celje dominated possession, it was Mura who celebrated the second goal of the match. This one came in the 47th minute thanks to the Celje players, who allowed Mura to score a goal as if it were a video game. The visiting goalkeeper had the ball in his hands, but within a few touches, they were in front of Celje’s goal, and after a pass from Mata Miloša, Dario Vizinger scored the second goal of the match. Just moments later, Edin Julardžija had a “deadly opportunity” for 3-0, and if he had scored… Well, then it would have been hard for Celje to come back. However, the midfielder squandered the impossible, and what followed was what it was.
Celje responded with four goals in just 17 minutes, with Mario Kvesić, Armandas Kučys, Damjan Vuklišević, and Aljoša Matko all getting on the scoresheet. Mura generously returned the favor to Celje and also made inexplicable mistakes in defense. For instance, Kučys scored after Florijan Raduha dropped the ball from his hands out of nowhere, and Aljoša Matko scored just moments after David Zec was sent off for the home side.
The end of the match was tense and exciting, also because Amadej Maroša confidently converted a penalty in the 85th minute, bringing Mura closer to equalizing. Celje managed to hold on despite being one player down and achieved a crucial, albeit dramatic, victory.
