During the week, the outstanding fixture in the Prva liga Telemach was fulfilled by Domžale and Koper. The football lull ended with a 1-0 victory for the home team, and the visitors’ coach, Oliver Bogatinov, was dissatisfied after the match. However, not so much with his team’s performance, but rather with the officiating.
“Domžale scored a very nice goal, and I can only congratulate them,” said Oliver Bogatinov after the match, in which Koper had 72 percent of the possession, and continued: “We also scored a goal that the referee disallowed. Well, disallowed… Or rather, he blew for a foul after our goal. VAR didn’t react; we expected a goal or at least a penalty kick in our favor. We got none of that. But I really can’t imagine why. If the goalkeeper jumps into the goalkeeper’s empty hands, misses 10 possible balls, and brings down the attacker – that’s nothing other than a penalty kick. But okay… The referees decided as they did. They know why. Besides, we also had dominance, possession. But what good is that when we couldn’t score.”
Koper is currently in an unenviable position: unable to qualify for Europe or drop to the 2. SNL. In such situations, motivation can always be a problem… “I congratulate the boys. Despite everything, they fought, were eager for success. Some even got cramps; they put so much energy into the game… It’s a shame we lost. In light of all this, we would have needed a positive result, which would have been good motivation for work,” added the former coach of Radomlje.
