At Kodeljevo, we had the chance to watch two teams that already know the taste of the final victory in the Pivovarna Union Cup. Olimpija was the host, after Rudar Velenje gave up this role due to too much organisational work. The reigning national and cup champions had no major problems against the former first league champions, winning 4:1 and qualifying for the eighth round of the competition.
Not even 120 seconds had elapsed when Pedro Lucas found himself alone in front of the visiting goalkeeper and easily sent the round leather into the net. It was Lucas who had the assist in the 34th minute. In the second minute, he had a good chance to increase the advantage, but his header was blocked by the post, but a minute later his teammate Ivan Posavec was able to take advantage of a similar situation.
After just a few minutes of play in the second half, Posavec went down after a scramble in the Velenje penalty area, earning his team the harshest penalty of the game, which was successfully converted by Diogo Pinto. The visitors scored the honorary goal with a precise shot in 59. Stian Dzumhur scores one minute into the second half. The final result of the match was scored by Marko Brest in stoppage time after a great deep pass.
Rudar’s relegation from the cup competition also means the end of the 2023 calendar year, while the Ljubljana team will face a new challenge on Saturday when they host Radomlje.
