It would have been easier to plant potatoes, but they had to play football… In the muddy Stožice Stadium, Olimpija marked their fourth defeat in the group stage of the Conference League, which was also decisive for them. The Dragons no longer have a chance to advance; therefore, fulfilling the goal set by Adam Delius before the start of the group stage. Let’s be honest: perhaps he wanted to please, but his expectations weren’t very realistic. It must be admitted that Olimpija once again put up a good fight, with an unexpected hero contributing a lot – Denis Pintol.
When Matevž Vidovšek got injured, many Olimpija fans were convinced that the opponents of the Dragons would have an open path to the green-and-white net. However, Denis Pintol proved that since joining Olimpija, he hasn’t just been waiting for his chance but has also worked diligently. And currently in Olimpija’s goal stands a goalkeeper who is – truth be told – very good. Denis Pintol also impressed against the opponent from France, against whom, according to the ratings of the website SofaScore, he was actually the best-rated player of Olimpija! Notably, both Agustin Doffo and Nemanja Motika also received a rating of 7.2.
The 23-year-old Denis Pintol recorded 4 saves against the Ligue 1 club in the statistics, three of which came from shots inside the penalty area. Without his saves, this match for Olimpija would undoubtedly have ended even worse…
Following Pintol, Doffo, and Motika on the ratings list for this match are the young Marcel Ratnik and Rui Pedro, whom SofaScore rewarded with a rating of 7.0 for their performance. Everyone else dropped below a “seven.” Ahmet Muhamedbegović, Diogo Pinto, and Saar Fadida received a rating of 6.9, Admir Bristrić got a 6.8, Ivan Posavec stopped at 6.7. David Sualheja, Jorge Silva, Mustafa Nukić, and Timi Max Elšnik scored 6.6, Marko Brest received a 6.5, and the lowest among all, according to SofaScore ratings, was Justas Lasickas (6.4).
