Jadran can’t really complain about their start to the 2. SNL season. The club from Dekani is even in fourth place on the second-tier league table! However, things didn’t go as smoothly in the cup for Jadran. Although advancement wasn’t really expected against one of the better members of the Prva liga Telemach, the extent of their defeat was a shock. Jadran experienced a true disaster, with Koper scoring a total of 8 goals and advancing comfortably with an 8:1 victory.
In front of 150 spectators, Denis Popović made his debut for Koper, and his new teammates celebrated within just three minutes of the match, when Gabriel Groznica beat home goalkeeper Danko Gabrić. The French debutant Isaac Matondo scored twice (18th, 52nd), Tomi Jurić, a former Australian international, celebrated his first goal in Koper’s shirt (30th), and the coastal club was further aided by goals from Fran Tomek (33rd), Dominik Ivkić (55th), also making his debut on the scoresheet, Sandro Jovanović (75th), and Petar Petriško (78th).
The home side Jadran managed to score their only goal in the 73rd minute, with Faris Kadrić, a 19-year-old former Bosnian youth international, finding the net past Luka Baš. Additionally, it’s worth noting that Luka Kerin, a former Celje and Bravo player, made his debut for the Dekani club, coming on in the 58th minute.
