After two consecutive losses that pushed Domžale into really dangerous waters, the yellow family can breathe a bit more easily again. Domžale’s coach, Dušan Kosić, and his players played another battle for survival on Saturday evening and defeated the opponent who would have overtaken them on the Prva Liga Telemach standings if they had won. But that didn’t happen. Domžale didn’t disappoint their fans this time. Kosić’s men scored two goals and deservedly defeated Aluminij.

Spectators at the Domžale stadium had to wait until almost the end of the first half for the opening goal. At that moment, on the right side of the opponent’s penalty area, Filip Stuparević got hold of the ball, deciding to shoot from what seemed like a completely harmless position. He shot low and close to the near post, and with a good deal of luck, the visiting goalkeeper, Lan Jovanović, made a truly poor intervention. The ball slipped through his hands and ended up in the net. Aluminij found themselves behind at a really inconvenient moment, but it could have been different. Tin Matić had a good opportunity to score on the other side just before that, but the young home goalkeeper, Lovro Štubljar, who proves his undeniable talent game after game, made the save.
Domžale secured the victory in the 64th minute when even the visiting defender Aleksandar Zeljković scored. After a corner kick to the far post, the ball was redirected in front of the goal by Dario Kolobarić, to his luck and the sorrow of Aluminij’s fans, a defensive player from Kidričevo intercepted the pass awkwardly and scored an own goal. Both teams could have scored again until the end of the match, but the nets remained still, and Domžale secured their ninth win of the season, increasing their lead over today’s opponent to four points. The battle is won, but the war for survival is far from over…
