Gorica pulled off the biggest surprise of the quarterfinals of the Pivovarna Union Cup. While the Novo Gorica team is a former champion and one of the most successful Slovenian clubs of all time, the current situation is what it is. Gorica, competing in the 2. SNL, entered the battle with first-league team Radomlje as the underdog, yet coach Miran Srebrnič and his players won the battle convincingly – with a score of 4:1.
“I admit that Radomlje was the opponent I wanted the least from the draw, but it turned out well,” said Miran Srebrnič after the victory for the club’s website, and continued: “At the beginning of the match, we struggled to adapt to the dynamics, as the first league, where Radomlje play, is much faster. After the conceded goal for 1:1, the guys relaxed. We achieved what we wanted – we played well on counter-attacks, which we maximized. Later, we also defended well, from the frontline downwards. We exploited the space after winning the ball and scored beautiful goals. We had some more good opportunities, so this victory is deserved.”
Miran Srebrnič, who with his team is also fighting for a return to the Prva liga Telemach, bluntly admitted at the end that the Novo Gorica team achieved a great feat: “Congratulations to the boys for their performance. Reaching the semifinals of the Slovenian Cup is not a small thing, especially if you are a second-league team.“
