Regret and also public condemnation of what happened. A few hours after the premature end of the match at Fazanerija, NK Maribor naturally responded with a public statement. The Štajerska emphasized that something happened in Murska Sobota that has no common ground with football, and they also wished the injured members of NŠ Mura a speedy recovery.
Statement by NK Maribor:
Until the 57th minute, it was a pleasant football afternoon, with the stadium’s atmosphere signifying a new chapter in promoting Slovenian top-tier football. Unfortunately, it was tarnished by the use of pyrotechnic devices that crossed the line, resulting in injuries to Mura players and members of the coaching staff, overshadowing the efforts of all participants on the field and the desire to witness a football celebration. There were no disagreements or tensions in anticipation of the match that could have influenced the behavior of groups or individuals. The prelude to the match was respectful from both sides, solely focused on football, and there were no heated passions between the fan groups.
We have had friendly and exemplary relations with NŠ Mura for many years. Therefore, this unpleasant incident represents an even greater disappointment for us. During discussions after the unfinished match, we expressed deep regret to the hosts on the field and in the club facilities, and the business director, Bojan Ban, on behalf of NK Maribor, addressed the microphones alongside the president of the home club, Robert Kuzmič, condemning the reckless and dangerous behavior that led to the premature end of the match.
Sportingly, things were heading in the desired direction; our team was leading 2-0 and nearing the achievement of the competitive goal. Unfortunately, the behavior in the stands prevented us from witnessing the outcome on the field.
We regret and strongly condemn the incident. We do not recall an event like what happened today in Murska Sobota, and we hope and believe it will never happen again. We wish successful and speedy recovery to the players and members of NŠ Mura who suffered injuries from the explosion near the edge of the field. With the hope that in the future, we will only compete in a sporting battle on the field without the presence of factors that do not belong in stadiums and have nothing to do with football.
