Koper traveled to Nova Gorica in the third round of the Prva liga Telemach. The opponent was not Gorica, who remains in the 2. SNL, but Primorje, who will be hosting home games in this border town for at least part of the season. The Koprčani won with a score of 2:0, thanks to goals from Felipe Curcio and Petar Petriško. Koper’s coach Oliver Bogatinov was pleased with his team’s performance after the match.
“Every derby is tough, and this one was no exception. Primorje has shown excellent first halves in the last two rounds. I am happy and satisfied with how we approached the match and how we finished it. There were also moments when things could have turned out differently,” said Oliver Bogatinov, the coach of the club from Bonifika.
Bogatinov also commented on the goal scored by hot summer newcomer Felipe Curcio during injury time of the first half: “It was an extremely important goal that sent us to the locker room with a lead and with relief and awareness that we created something in the first half. This made it much easier for us in the second half. I can only congratulate the boys. When the imperative is to win, it’s always hard to play. When you have to win, it’s always harder than when you mustn’t lose.”
Bogatinov: “The result of observation and rewarding”
Regarding the 30-year-old from Brazil, Oliver Bogatinov did not hide his satisfaction: “Felipe Curcio is a very good reinforcement. He has a very good left foot. We knew this even before he came to Koper. He is currently making good use of it. I am happy with his goals, and I believe there will also be opportunities for assists.”
Substitutions made a difference for Koper in Nova Gorica. The second goal was scored by Petar Petriško, who came on in the second half. “Every coach can be satisfied with a wide squad, and I also have difficulties in selecting the starting eleven. The strength of this team is exactly in being able to look at daily form. The choice of Aljaž Zalaznik is also a result of observing and rewarding the boys who show more at a given moment,” concluded Oliver Bogatinov.
