Olimpija will be able to increase their advantage to +19 on Sunday! Maribor without Žan Vipotnik failed to beat Tabor from Sejan
Before the game, they stressed that the battle for the championship is not lost, and that who knows, maybe a miracle will happen. But this seems to be wishful thinking.
Maribor
for the second time in a row in
Telemach First League
without a win. Last weekend they lost to Mura, now they only drew at home to Tabor, who are fighting to stay in the elite. Maribor had to play the game without their top scorer , Zan Vipotnik, who they could not do without. And it ended in a draw. Z 1:1.
Despite the fact that Maribor was without Vipotnik (and also without the ill Aljaz Antolin, who missed his first league game of the season), they created more than enough chances to win the game in 90 minutes. He was penalised for failing to take advantage of them. Tabor, who had to defend tenaciously in the last 20 minutes but withstood all the attempts of the hosts, took the lead in 59. minutes. Max Watson made a bad pass in front of his own goal, which was converted by Sacha Marasovic, who crossed, and Nabil Khali, who scored from close range.
Iličić yellow again, will not play in the next round
Maribor equalised seven minutes later. Rok Kronaveter crossed from a corner, Sven Šošštarič Karič put the ball behind Jan Koprivec’ s back in front of the goal and scored his first ever goal in a violet jersey. Khali could have scored his second goal just two minutes later, but he only hit the crossbar.
The frame of the goal was also struck in the 80th. Josip Iličić scores in the first minute. The latter, interestingly enough, received a yellow card again, which means that he will not be in the Maribor team in the next round. In the last minutes, the latter pressed hard against the Sežana goal, but could not score. Just before the end, the hosts called for an 11th-minute penalty after alleged handball in the penalty area, but the referees didn’t speak.
Olimpija will be able to take advantage of Maribor’s draw on Sunday. If they beat Domžale, they will increase their lead at the top of the Telemach First League standings to an incredible 19 points!
