David Pejicic played 31 minutes, had 17 touches of the ball and 10 assists out of 13. He successfully delivered three of the four long balls and won both duels for the ball on the green. Of course, at such a young age, mistakes are not without their faults, but these were negligible, the website SofaScore gave the Slovenian teenager a solid 6.9 for his performance.
It is interesting to note that David Pejicic was the best rated of all the players the Videm team sent off the bench! He also received a higher rating than Sandi Lovrić (6.8), who was rated better in the 1:2 defeat (v 120. Gianluca Lapadula, former member of the Gorica), the only other goals for the home team came from Makuda Okoye, Axel Guessand, Joao Ferreira, Hassane Kamara and Florian Thauvin.
