The clash between clubs, both undefeated until this encounter in the Prva liga Telemach this year, did not disappoint. Rogaška and Olimpija provided five goals, but after the match, only the dragons remained unbeaten in the year 2024. They triumphed 3-2 in Rogaška Slatina, but the victory wasn’t the only happy and positive news for the Ljubljana team.
After a long absence, national team goalkeeper Matevž Vidovšek returned to the goalposts, although he didn’t shine particularly, especially during Rogaška’s first goal, but who could blame him? Matevž Vidovšek had been sidelined since last October, so it’s entirely logical that he’ll need some time to regain his form.
In addition to Vidovšek’s return, the excellent performance of Raul Florucz is worth mentioning, who scored the first goal and provided assists for the other two, as well as the more than optimistic debut of Marko Ristić. Olimpija coach Zoran Zeljković started the match defensively with Marcel Ratnik and Mateo Karamatić, but the latter didn’t shine. He delivered a modest performance, so it’s not surprising that he remained in the locker room at halftime.
19-year-old Marko Ristić, who was the captain of the youth team in the fall, wasn’t intimidated by his debut in professional football. In the second half, he delivered a good, brave performance, proving to the coach without a doubt that he can be trusted. Perhaps even more than some foreign players… As revealed by OptaŽabar, Marko Ristić became the 95th teenager to debut in the Prva liga Telemach while wearing Olimpija’s jersey.
