The holiday turned into a big black stain that fell on the entire Slovenian football. Instead of Mura and Maribor starting and finishing the match on the field, the clash will have its epilogue at the green table due to the primitive rampage of members of the Viole supporters’ group. The penalties that will be imposed must be drastic and, above all, educational. This is also agreed by the leadership of NŠ Mura, where they have already responded with a public statement, describing the health condition of the injured players.
NŠ Mura Public Statement:
Today, we witnessed a football celebration at Fazanerija, which attracted a good number of spectators to the stands. They created an atmosphere that is more of an exception than a rule in the Slovenian football scene. Unfortunately, it all degenerated into an event that could have ended tragically.
In the 58th minute of the match, an explosive device flew towards our players who were warming up on the sidelines, injuring five of our players and the fitness coach. Temporary hearing loss, severe headaches, burns on the legs in two players are just some of the consequences of this act. All six had to undergo further examinations at the Maribor University Medical Centre after being examined at the Murska Sobota emergency department.
At this point, it is necessary to ask whether, because of certain individuals, we will have to fear for the health of both players and fans in the future. One of the ball collectors near the incident left the field in fear. The question arises as to how we will convince fans, especially those who come with children, that football is a beautiful thing. It’s difficult in this way.
We believe that the Football Association of Slovenia (NZS) will appropriately and sternly take action in this case, demonstrating zero tolerance for such excesses. Everyone in the club is deeply shocked by the incident, which, unfortunately, will mark the Slovenian football scene for a long time to come.
