Olimpija continues to struggle, Radomlje took advantage and stayed undefeated in Stožice: Concerns over Vidovšek’s injury added to the draw
Olimpija hosted Radomlje in the Telemach First League in Stožice and the Dragons confirmed that they are currently out of form in their last match before the national team break. It ended 1:1 in the biggest stadium in the country, but judging by the second half, the Ljubljanaers are even happy to have got a point… Radomlje had a couple of good chances, but they were not effective enough to celebrate the surprising victory.
Olimpija was the one who took the lead, the Dragons hit the net of the guests from Radomel in 14. minutes. Aljaž Krefl crossed the ball from a corner in front of the goal, where Timi Max Elšnik extended the ball towards the other post and headed it to a completely alone Marcel Ratnik. The visiting defenders forgot about Ratnik, and the Prekmurec player took advantage of it, putting the ball behind the back of Luka Baša with two touches. The Millers equalised before the end of the first half, when they outplayed the home team in a rather textbook fashion. The ball was passed from the defence to the touchline, where Jorge Silva was thrown out of the game with a double pass, and then the Hungarian Shošić ran in from the right on his own against Matevž Vidovšek. The shot of the young Radomlje player was not too strong, but it was still accurate enough to bring Vidovšek down.
Mustafa Nukić and Rui Pedro could have scored for the Dragons before the tie, but the former was not accurate enough and the latter’s attempt was defended by Luka Baš with his fingertips. Radomlje were more determined in the second half and had the lead as early as 49. an unprecedented opportunity. Saar Fadida made a mistake returning the ball to Vidovšek and Caio Cruz got to the ball. The Brazilian, who had assisted the first Radomlje goal, had an open path to goal, but immediately decided to lob it over Vidovšek. He missed his target by just a few centimetres!
Ognjen Gnjatić and Šošić also had good chances for Radomlje before the end of the match, while Pedro Lucas hit the crossbar, but the linesman raised his flag anyway. Olimpija finished the game without Matevž Vidovšek, who was hit in the head with a strong blow ten minutes before the end of the game. The Olimpija goalkeeper made a sacrificial lunge for the ball, only to be hit in the head by Franjo Posavac. Vidovšek went down, then left the field, but Joao Henriques didn’t want to take any chances – Denis Pintol went in. The latter did not fail, in 96. In the first minute, he actually showed his outstanding defence after a shot by Posavec, but the Radomlje net was not touched again and it ended 1:1.
