Maks Barišić waited more than a year: the long-absent Koper star scores his first goal in Murska Sobota after 3. March 2022
The last match of the 27th round of the Slovenian Championship was played in Murska Sobota, where Mura and Koper played. The spectators were treated to a very interesting performance, especially in the second half, which was also spiced up by Maks Barišić. A footballer who was so hot a year ago that the Koprčany players tried to get him to
national team
, started the match on the reserves bench. Coach Zoran Zeljkovic sent him on in the 59th minute and it didn’t take long for Maks Barišić to make his presence felt.
Less than ten minutes after arriving on the pitch, Maks Barišić first scored an eleven-metre penalty for his club (foul on him by Amar Beganović), and then scored from the white spot, routinely beating Klemn Mihelak, who was heading in the wrong direction.
Even a year ago from the white spot
Maks Barišić celebrates his 16th goal for Koper, but also his first in over a year! The 28-year-old winger, who has spent most of his career in neighbouring Italy, last scored on 3 March 2022, during Koper’s home defeat to
Maribor
z 1:2. Interestingly, he also scored from the white spot.
In the next three games, Maks Barišić did not score, and then he suffered a serious knee injury, which will prevent him from playing for Koper in 2022. This year, he has managed to return to the greens, but he is still looking for the right form. He played in two games before the visit to Murska Sobota, but only got 36 minutes to prove his worth. He was on the bench against Maribor in the first round this season, but was again absent for the last three matches against Olimpija, Domžale and Celje. Now it’s back. One way and another.
