Domžale hosted Olimpija in the 4th round of the Telemach First League. The final score of the match was 0-0, marking the first point for the yellow family this season. Domžale still remain at the bottom of the 1. SNL table, but considering the opponent had been on a six-match winning streak before the game, a point is certainly not a poor result. Both Aljaž Zabukovnik and coach Erik Merdanović agree with this.
“Even before the start of the match, we knew that we would be under pressure the entire game, as Olimpija is currently on an exceptional unbeaten run. All the boys who played in the starting eleven, and also those who came on from the bench, showed and proved that we can compete with the best in the league. Our dedication and fighting spirit were rewarded with a point. A ball could have easily ended up in either our or their net, but despite everything, we more than deserved this point,” said Erik Merdanović after the match, who will also be able to count on Haris Vučkić in the next game. He was officially introduced today as a new member of Domžale, and the Football Association of Slovenia (NZS) has also given him the green light to play in the 1. SNL.
“In preparation for the match, we emphasized at every training session that we could achieve a positive result, and that is exactly what happened in the end. We give our all in training and knew that we would be rewarded for it sooner or later,” Merdanović added after the encounter with Victor Sanchez’s team.
The 18-year-old Aljaž Zabukovnik also shared his view on the match against the local rival for the club’s website: “Before the match, we were aware that we have been performing very well for the past three weeks and that we were not far from success in the first three matches. We worked hard and fought for each other in the game against Olimpija, making it a real pleasure to play in a great football environment, with many spectators in the stands. I would also like to thank the coach for the opportunity to start in the first eleven. Olimpija is currently in very good form, and they are achieving excellent results in Europe as well, so we are even more pleased with this hard-earned point. Now we go into the upcoming important matches with a good momentum,.”
