Steven Juncaj was even booed by the fans of his own club, but the American, son of investor and newly appointed sports director of Mura, George Juncaj, did not let that disturb him. In his debut, Oskar Drobneta was quite expectedly included in the starting lineup of the black-and-whites, and Steven Juncaj immediately silenced his critics. Juncaj was one of the heroes of Mura’s smooth victory, as they comfortably defeated Primorje in Murska Sobota. The Juncaj family must be more than satisfied, and even more so Dario Vizinger, who reminded everyone of his goal-scoring days with Celje by scoring three goals in his 100th appearance in the Telemach First League, leading to a high 4:0 victory for the home team.
“Give the guy time,” George Juncaj had publicly urged Mura fans not long ago. But when coach Anton Žlogar left just a few days later amid alleged pressures about who should play and who should not, it was utopian to expect anything other than boos. Even Oskar Drobne surely knew that sending Juncaj onto the “battlefield” was risky, but Steven Juncaj was up to the challenge. He played a good match, scored a goal with a timely touch after a pass from Tilen Ščernjavič, and made his mark on the scoresheet in his debut. By the time he was substituted after an hour of play, there was even some applause to be heard…
Steven Juncaj may have been the central figure of the match at Fazanerija, but he was not the most outstanding player. That role belongs to Dario Vizinger, who was in the right place to capitalize on an error by visiting goalkeeper Gašper Tratnik after a good save from a free kick for the first goal, and for the second, he sprinted like Filippo Inzaghi to get to the ball before the goalkeeper, elegantly bypassed him, and managed to score from a difficult position. The match was decided but not yet over.
Dario Vizinger celebrated his third goal just over 10 minutes before the end when Tratnik made a save in front of Amadej Maroš, but was unlucky as the ball fell only to the Croatian, who had no trouble putting it into the empty net. Oskar Drobne made his debut in a dream fashion, Steven Juncaj did too, and George Juncaj could hardly be prouder of it all…
