Many who found themselves on the Štajerska highway heading towards Ljubljana on Saturday were cursing the moment they decided to get behind the wheel of their metal steed somewhere near Vransko. The atmosphere on the bus departing from Lendava, carrying players of the Slovenian top league team Nafte, was anything but cheerful as they faced a journey that would take nearly record time to reach Nova Gorica.
“Due to traffic jams, we traveled from Lendava to Nova Gorica for almost 7 hours!” revealed Nafta player Rok Pirtovšek to Planet nogomet. He and his teammates got caught in a jam that stretched from Vransko to Blagovica like a slow-moving train. “We arrived at the match venue only an hour before the game… It was a really tough away trip, although that shouldn’t be an excuse. We wanted to win three points, but we couldn’t do it,” Pirtovšek continued after the match against Primorje, which ended in a 1:1 draw.
The former member of Rogaška, with whom he won a cup trophy last season, added: “I think we were better for most of the match, but their goalkeeper made some really good saves. On the other hand, we had another minor lapse in defense, and we were punished immediately. If we sum it all up, there’s a bitter aftertaste. We could have achieved more. Still, we shouldn’t be disappointed; a point away isn’t a bad result.” (dk)
