Our northern neighbors kicked off the new season with cup matches. We already reported that Patrik Mijić, the former goal scorer for Rogaška, made his debut for TSV Hartberg with a hat-trick. However, while his new club, to which Benjamin Markuš, the captain of Domžale, also transferred, cruised to the next round of the competition, Grazer AK, the newcomer among Austria’s elite, faced much more difficulty. Young national team player Tio Cipot, on loan from Spezia, has moved to this club.
The Austrian top-tier club from Graz, where the Slovenian coach Matjaž Kek once played, visited the ATUS Velden club. Although the latter competes in the fourth league, Grazer AK only triumphed after penalties. The regular time ended 2-2, with the home team leading 2-0 before Grazer AK managed to equalize.
ATUS Velden then converted three penalties, one of them by Tom Žurga, a 26-year-old Slovenian forward and former member of Kranj’s Triglav, who has played 74 matches in neighboring Austria, scoring an impressive 60 goals. However, his successful penalty wasn’t enough. Three of his teammates missed, while Grazer AK missed twice, determining the winner. One of the heroes for the visitors from Graz was also Tio Cipot, who took the ball to the penalty spot in the second round and was the first scorer for his team.
