Olimpija was already facing defeat in the opening match of the new year, but then an unexpected hero emerged. At a 2-0 deficit against Rogaška, Marko Brest first earned a penalty for his team and then scored himself in injury time, securing the final result of 2-2.
Marko Brest probably played his best game since transferring from Aluminij. After the match, he admitted, among other things, that he fell rather quickly in the Rogaška penalty area or took advantage of the imprudent move by the visiting player Alen Korošec.
Marko Brest: “A point is not enough”
“I was aware that I was in the penalty area. I admit that I could have stayed on my feet, but… Why, if I can help the team score an easy goal? The decision to fall was entirely logical,” Marko Brest honestly admitted after the match at Stožice.
The 21-year-old young Slovenian international emphasized that a draw against the bottom team in the Prva liga Telemach is by no means enough: “We started poorly. We woke up too late. But in the end, thank God, we did. Scoring twice is something, but a point against Rogaška is not enough.“
