The penultimate match of the opening part of the second quarter of the 2024/25 season in the Prvi ligi Telemach took place at Bonifika, where Koper faced Radomlje. There were few spectators in the stands and little exciting action on the field. Those who ventured to the Koper stadium on Sunday afternoon only saw the lone goal in the 92nd minute, scored by substitute Omar El Manssouri, who found the back of the net with a perfectly measured shot from 20 meters.
Koper deserved the win a bit more as they were more enterprising, which was to be expected given the circumstances, as they also rattled the frame of the goal in the second half. However, it’s far from the case that Emil Velić had a monumental amount of work to do, as the ball only reached his goal once during regular time. Metod Jurhar was tested most right before the end of the match when Halifa Kujabi, after an excellent pass from Nemanja Gavrić, sprinted into the penalty area from the right and shot toward the near corner. However, Jurhar anticipated this, was well positioned, and the best chance for the guests bore no fruit.
Just when it seemed the match was decided, in the 92nd minute, Omar El Manssouri stepped up and sent the ball into the upper left corner of Velić’s goal with a masterfully measured shot from 20 meters. Radomlje played with one man down – experienced Uroš Korun was sent off in the 40th minute after a video review for “denying” Frana Tomeka; he initially received a yellow card, but the referee changed his mind after reviewing the footage – thus, they held on almost until the end, but not quite.
Omar El Manssouri scored his first league goal for Koper after a month, inflicted Radomlje’s fourth consecutive away defeat, and earned his team their first win after three matches.
