Ankaran once had a top-tier football team, but it didn’t play in Ankaran. Today, the local club Galeb Ankaran, founded in 2019, competes at an amateur level. Despite this, they had a remarkable opportunity on Wednesday, as they hosted a team from the 1. SNL. In front of 200 spectators at the Ankaran Sports and Recreation Center, Koper visited, and as expected, they were a much stronger opponent. The top-tier team claimed a resounding victory, finishing 6-0 in favor of the visitors.
The local Galeb team held their own against Koper in the first half, with the only goal coming in the 23rd minute when Nik Omladič scored from the penalty spot. In the second half, Koper stepped on the gas and scored five more goals. Omar El Manssouri celebrated a hat-trick (62, 77, 86), with Nikola Burić (48) and Ahmed Sidibe (83) also finding the net. It’s worth noting that Omar El Manssouri only entered the game in the 58th minute, meaning he needed just 28 minutes to score his hat-trick.
Although the opponent was from a lower league, Koper didn’t want to take any chances, as evidenced by their lineup. Coach Oliver Bogatinov did shuffle the starting eleven a bit, but for the most part, the players were those who also feature in the league. The match started with Baš, Curcio, Ivkić, Kovačić, Mijailović, Kočar, Tomek, Marsetič, Omladič, Simčić, Burić, and also featured Petriško, Lovrić, Jovanović, El Manssouri, and Sidibe.
