Domžale faced their local rivals from Radomlje in the first match of the 3rd round of the Prva liga Telemach, with Radomlje hosting at the stadium by the Kamniška Bistrica. The team of the new Domžale coach Erik Merdanović recorded their third loss of the season already from the 19th minute, despite having one more player. The hero for the millers was Nino Kukovec, who decided the match with a goal in the 76th minute.
“As in life, there are also some sacred things in football. If we agree on something and repeat it throughout the week, but then the execution fails on the field, that is a big problem. Coaches know where the problem lies. Regarding today’s performance, it was without will and desire. Even if we had the same number of players on the field, such things are unacceptable. It is again up to us to make some decisions because what we saw today was not worth any comment,” Erik Merdanović was sharply critical of his players after the local derby.
In the next round, Domžale will host Olimpija, a team that currently knows no defeat. “First, we need to prepare well. We have to review the things that were not right. Throughout the week, we will work again and see how and what. Every training session and every match is an opportunity for new proof. We have 20 players, and there are no secrets about how and what. We will see throughout the week who will play and who will not,” the Domžale coach added in conclusion.
