In the 9th round of the Telemach First League, Domžale hosted Celje, who secured a 3-0 victory. The goals for Celje were scored by Armandas Kučys, Ivan Brnić, and Svit Sešlar. Despite the poor results, coach Dejan Dončić remains optimistic ahead of the cup match against Olimpija.
“We conceded a goal in the second minute due to an individual error, which affected the team’s confidence. Nevertheless, we picked ourselves up and aimed for more. We knew Celje was a quality team, but we fought hard. In the first half, we had two chances, as well as in the second half, where we could have equalized to 1:1, but we failed to score. In the end, Celje deserved the win,” said coach Dončić after the match.
Dončić also spoke about the busy schedule that Domžale faces: “In eight days, we have three very demanding matches. We need to survive this period. After that, we will play the way we want. We must be compact in defense and dangerous in attack – that is my motto. There are many matches ahead of us.”
On Wednesday, Domžale will face Olimpija in the cup. Dončić is optimistic ahead of the match against the unbeaten team from Ljubljana: “We aim for victory in every match, regardless of the opponent. Surprises are always possible in the cup. Why shouldn’t there be a surprise on Wednesday?“
