After conceding a whopping 12 goals in the last two matches against Olimpija and Maribor and losing convincingly both times, nobody could have imagined that we would witness a completely different story at Bonifika. But that’s football, that’s why it’s so interesting. Nafta, on a visit to Koper, ended a streak of four consecutive losses (during which they conceded 16 goals), surprising everyone with a victory and jumping off the bottom of the Eon NextGen league standings.
In front of barely 100 spectators, the match took place in Coastal, where the footballers were truly roasted by the very, very warm April sun, decided after just over half an hour of play. Nafta scored the only goal of the match, securing a 1-0 victory, in the 26th minute when Niko Zamuda beat home goalkeeper Jakob Vodan Jecelj. The player, who has already played in 3 matches in the 2. SNL, celebrated his sixth goal of the season.
Nafta then successfully thwarted all attacks by the home team and even managed to secure the win with one player less. In the 85th minute, Anej Horvat was sent off, having received a yellow card as early as the third minute and then, just before the end, received another and had to leave the field.
The Primorci, who are seventh in the standings, started the match with Vodan Jecelj, J. Pečjak, G. Pečjak, Šavor, Aščić Pijaža, Žabkar, Lamadžema, Slak, Sosić, Durmiši, Rizvić, and also had Žigart, Milošević, and Tunanović waiting for their chance. Nafta, who achieved their first away win since last October and ended a streak of five consecutive losses or nine losses in the last 10 away matches, secured the three points with Fras, Peulić, Sintič, Jurović, Bacinger, Časar, Rajh, Zamuda, M. Plej, Horvat, Pigac. They were supported by Macanović, Gonza, Lavrenčič, Leljak, and Vidmajer from the bench.
