Koper hosted Radomlje in the 10th round of the Telemach First League at their home ground, Bonifika. The visitors from Radomlje played with one player less from the 40th minute, as Uroš Korun received a red card. Nevertheless, this did not significantly affect the course of the game. Until the referee’s stoppage time in the second half, it seemed that the teams would part without any goals. But Koper had other plans. In the 92nd minute, Omar El Manssouri scored. After the match, Koper’s coach Oliver Bogatinov particularly praised the scorer.
“It was Omar’s day. He has been struggling with health issues for two days (he is suffering from a toothache, ed.). Initially, he was supposed to start this match… We had prepared all week with him in a wing position, but before the match, he called me to say he couldn’t play because the pain was too severe. Nevertheless, he asked me to put him in for the last 15 minutes. Everything went according to his plan, and not only that, he scored his first goal in the league. Congratulations to Omar, but we must not forget the whole team. We again did not concede a goal, which is our sixth consecutive match in the league without conceding. With one player more, we found it easier to create chances, but that remains our challenge,” said the Koper coach after the match.
In the next round, Koper will face the league leaders, as they have an upcoming away match in Stožice. Oliver Bogatinov optimistically predicted the match in Ljubljana: “To put it bluntly, we’re going to knock off the one at the top. The match is still far away, but starting tomorrow, we will focus on how to confront Olimpija. We will definitely try to make it difficult for them in Stožice.”
