Before the match, he was in the spotlight mainly because of his youth and also the fact that he comes from Log pri Brezovici, a place near Ljubljana. But Martin Matoša did his job at the 156th eternal derby very well. So well that after the match, which Maribor won 2-1, he was publicly praised by Ante Šimundža, the coach of the club from Ljudski vrt.
“The refereeing was excellent, completely at a European level. Also in this respect, it was one of the better derbies in recent years. The referee had a European approach, and I hope Martin Matoša will continue like this and all referees will follow his example,” explained Ante Šimundža after the match in Stožice, where Olimpija took the lead 1-0 but still lost.
The expert who led Maribor to its first victory in Ljubljana in more than four and a half years added: “With the way he led the game and dominated on the field despite his youth, he automatically gained the respect of the players. We see this only in the Champions League. Interestingly, Wednesday is Champions League day, and the referee was accordingly at a very high level.“
