The players of Maribor will likely not have fond memories of their first away game of the season, as they recorded their second draw in the Prva Liga Telemach despite having a golden opportunity to win the match against Radomlje.
Under the guidance of Ante Šimundža, Maribor created their first real chance in the 15th minute when Arnel Jakupović narrowly missed the goal of Jakob Kobal after a great dribble. However, Jakupović made an impact again just fifteen minutes later. Initially, Sven Šoštarič Karič, the central defender, made a run from his own half and found Jakupović, who scored from close range.
It was quite tense again in the 55th minute when a shot by Redwan Bourles was denied by the crossbar. After about an hour of play, Matej Malenšek equalized for Radomlje in the 61st minute. Maribor then had a golden opportunity to secure a win just minutes before the end of regular time, as Behar Feta‘s cross was handled in the penalty area by Gaber Dobrovoljc. Unfortunately for Maribor, Jakupović was unable to convert the penalty, and Jakob Kobal became the hero of the home team by saving the spot-kick.
