Maribor again without a win: three goals by two former Violets, Celjani to a point in 94th Maribor vs. minutes of the match
Celje and Maribor played an exciting Styrian derby, with six goals and a 3:3 draw. Although Celjani broke their streak of six consecutive league victories on home soil, they could still be satisfied after this season’s showdown with their old rivals from the Styria region. They were already staring defeat in the face, and then in 94. In the final minute, they only managed to equalise and save themselves from defeat.
The home team led twice, both times thanks to Alyosha Matko, who showed no mercy to his former club. The last goal of the match was also the work of a player who spent his time in Ljudski vrt. Damjan Vuklišević successfully exploited a hole in the visitors’ defence and scored with a header to share the points. For Maribor, it was the fourth consecutive match in the
Telemach First League
in which it did not win. At least this time they didn’t lose, having previously had to concede to Koper, Olimpija and Domžale. To be honest, Maribor were also a bit unlucky, they were left without a win with just two minutes left in stoppage time.
Playful Tolic scores and passes twice
Celjani took the lead after twenty-five minutes of play when Matko sent the ball over the helpless Ažbe Jug with a crafty shot. In the penultimate minute of the first half, Max Watson headed home a cross from a corner with enough accuracy to level the scores. It was the first goal for the Swede in a Purple jersey. After four minutes of stoppage time, Matko avoided a foul and scored for 2:1. The main referee Nejc Kajtazović waited for some time for the information from the VAR room, but finally conceded the goal.
Rozman contributes his share
Maribor then managed a complete turnaround, with the help of the unavailable home goalkeeper Matjaž Rozman. V 59. Marko Tolić, the passer of Maribor’s first goal, equalizes in the first minute, the goal going to the home keeper. After Martin Milec broke through and shot, Rozman deflected the ball straight to Tolic, who had no problem pushing the ball into the net. V 73. In the final minute, Tolić crowned his excellent performance with another pass, which was converted by Žan Vipotnik and gave Maribor the lead when Rozman tied the game.
Celjani then, as I said, equalised in the last gasps of the match, and the goal scorer was Vuklišević, who had been a member of Maribor for six years, but never got a real chance to prove himself in Ljudski vrt.
