Koper showed inconsistent form at the start of this season, as the Primorci recorded two wins and two losses before Saturday’s match. In the fifth round of the Prva liga Telemach, they hosted Nafta at home and won convincingly with a 3-0 scoreline. The scorers for the home team were Veljko Mijailović, Petar Petriško, and Nik Omladič. After the match, Koper’s coach Oliver Bogatinov expressed his satisfaction with the victory.
“Nafta prepared very well against us, and I think we had our opportunities primarily from set pieces. We entered the penalty area frequently, but they also seriously threatened us twice. Thanks to Jurhar for keeping us in the game with an active result. In the second half, we slightly adjusted our game without making substitutions, and this bore fruit. Moreover, the guests slightly dropped in physical preparedness towards the end of the match, which was expected, as they expended a lot of energy in the first half. I congratulate the guests for an excellent first half, and my players for the victory, the creativity they showed from the first to the last minute, and the efficiency that rewarded us with three goals,” Bogatinov said after the match at Bonifika.
He paid special attention to the young Petar Petriško, who scored his second goal of the season: “Petriško is a young guy who is making progress. He also scored after coming on in the match against Primorje in Ajdovščina or Nova Gorica. This shows that we have quality on the bench as well, as many players are competing for a place in the first team. I hope we continue in this direction, where anyone who comes in can compensate for a potential off-day of the players on the pitch.”
Bogatinov also touched on the injury of Marko Pabai, which occurred in the first half of the last match: “I think there was an unfortunate rotation during a sprint. Sidibe also got injured. Tomorrow morning, we will count the players, after they have slept and the night has revealed the extent of the injuries. Right now, adrenaline is high, and satisfaction is great, so we will assess the true situation tomorrow.” In the sixth round, Koper will face an away match against Domžale. They will head into the match, scheduled for Saturday at 8:15 PM, from third place in the Prva liga Telemach standings.
