Martin Milec can’t believe that Maribor was knocked out of the cup: “I don’t know if they – along with the free kick – struck our goal twice”

For the first time since last August, he secured a spot in the starting eleven of Maribor and also wore the captain’s armband, but it’s hard to argue that it brought luck to the purple team. Martin Milec and his teammates surprisingly exited the Pivovarna Union Cup after losing to Radomlje (1:2) at Ljudski vrt. Maribor led until the 79th minute, and then the guests scored twice, advancing to the quarterfinals.
“If I’m completely honest, I don’t even know what happened,” expressed 32-year-old Martin Milec visibly disappointed after the match, where Maribor suffered its very first cup defeat against Radomlje (before that, they won all three encounters). He added: “I don’t know if they – along with the free-kick – had two shots on our goal. Nevertheless, they scored two goals… Incomprehensible. But at the same time, it’s true that we were not aggressive enough in the last 20 minutes. Probably, we were ultimately punished for that.”
In addition to Radomlje, Triglav, Ilirija, Beltinci, and Gorica have already advanced to the quarterfinals. On Thursday, the matches between Čarda – Mura (15:00), Olimpija – Koper (15:00), and Nafta – Rogaška (17:30) are scheduled.
