For Maribor, every defeat is a failure, and a loss in the Štajerska derby hurts even more. Ante Šimundža was understandably dissatisfied after the match with Celje, but it is worth noting that he had managed an impressive streak: this was, believe it or not, Maribor’s first league defeat since last November! Maribor had been unbeaten in the Prva liga Telemach for more than 10 months, and this was the first time in long 28 matches that they encountered a superior opponent on the field!
It is true that the statistics also record a defeat to Mura, but it should be noted that the Prekmurci did not actually defeat Maribor on the field; instead, the victory was awarded to them due to a fan incident. Ignoring that match, which was not played to its conclusion, the fact is clear: Maribor experienced their first league defeat after 28 matches on Wednesday.
During this streak, Slovenia’s most successful club of all time won 17 matches and drew 11 times. Every streak eventually comes to an end, and interestingly, Maribor’s unbeaten run began after a loss to Celje, which took place on November 12 last year. It is indeed Celje that has now ended the fairytale league run of the Štajerska giant.
