The first cup defeat among the first division teams in the round of 16 in the City of Roses Domžale, who went down against Gorica 1:2, thus ending their participation in the Pivovarna Union Cup for this season.
In the sports park in Nova Gorica, the spectators did not see any goals in the first half. They are the first in 49. The hosts took the lead in the first minute, when 16-year-old Maj Blažič made a nice play in the visitors’ penalty area to deny the visiting keeper. The visitors reacted quickly and equalised six minutes later, when Filip Stuparević capitalised on a huge mistake by Nejc Mevlje in transferring the ball from the defence to the goalkeeper. It was Mevlja who atoned for his mistake with ten minutes left in regulation time, when he was accurate with a header after a cross to put his team ahead.
While Gorica has already finished its commitments for this calendar year, Dusan Kosić’ s team will be away in Rogaška Slatina this weekend.
