Maribor removes Josip Iličić from the squad in a bid for a better future … lost! Koper got all three points in Ljudski vrt
Things will be different now, they must have thought when they took the drastic decision in the middle of the week to remove the “main culprit” Josip Iličić from the squad. But Maribor continues to be in trouble and, in fact, the crisis it finds itself in is getting more serious by the game. This time, in the middle of the capital of Štajerska, another winner was Koper, which didn’t exactly play a match at European level, but still showed enough to defeat the once again pale, unavailable and above all harmless Maribor. It ended 1:0 for Koper, who with the victory overtook Olimpija insecond place of Telemach First League

Now, of course, the key question arises: who will be the next culprit for all Maribor’s problems? Iličić has already been crossed out. Who will be next? Maybe coach Damir Krznar? Sport Director Marko Šuler? Hard to believe it will end without a “big bang”…
The boring first half came to life only at the end of the match, more precisely in the 40th minute, when the spectators saw the first goal. The Maribor players rolled on the floor and protested to the referees, saying that they had been wronged, but it would have been better if they had fought back. Because they didn’t, they were awarded a goal, scored by Timothee Nkada. Koper’s captain Maks Barišić penetrated on the left side with the ball in his feet for a while, then he played a nice throw-in to Marcel Lorber and crossed it to the other post. Itsuki Urata was too low there , which was water on the wedge for the Frenchman in Koper’s ranks. Nkada, although in a difficult position, hit the ball well and sent a diagonal shot past a surprised Ažbe Jug into Maribor’s net. Koper scores with the first shot on…
Maribor tried to equalise in the second half, but it would be hard to argue that it was closer to the goal than Koper. Both teams had their chances, but the score never changed. Maribor lost again and left the pitch to loud whistles from the stands…
