Koper lost to Olimpija in the second round of the new Prva liga Telemach season after an initial win against Radomlje. Olimpija scored the winning goal in the 11th minute, with Ivan Durdov being the scorer. The score remained unchanged until the end of the match, with the shot count being 14:1 in favor of Olimpija. In the 88th minute, there was a power outage at Bonifika, causing the floodlights to go out and the game to be stopped. The issue was resolved, and the match ended with a significant delay. Home coach Oliver Bogatinov was understandably very dissatisfied with the performance.
“Results are what matter most. This time, the Ljubljana team was better by that one goal. We had difficulty creating chances during the game. The Ljubljančani stopped us in all our actions. It’s no coincidence that Olimpija hasn’t conceded a goal in the last six matches. We will have to work on that. For now, congratulations to Olimpija, heads up, and let’s move on to the next match. We had possession on our side, but it was unfortunately quite fruitless. Olimpija executed their counter-attacks very well and scored from our mistake. We weren’t focused, and that cost us,” said coach Bogatinov after the match on Obala.
“We have a lot of quality, but sometimes you simply have to admit the superiority of the opponent. Olimpija is an exceptionally strong team at the moment. They create opportunities, while we are not yet at that level. I believe we will play much easier against other opponents,” added 45-year-old Oliver Bogatinov, Koper’s coach.
