In Lendava, things were lively from Friday night to Saturday. The fans of Mura felt the urge for an early departure to the city of their Prekmurje rival, where they were met by supporters of Nafta, and as expected, fists flew. Each side could likely tell its own story about who was the winner on the streets, but the final score on the field speaks for itself. The match ended in a 0:0 draw, but it’s far from clear that the team with 10 more points in the standings was the better side. Nafta was even a bit more aggressive in Lendava, having more possession and shots. They just lacked that one goal for a remarkable victory…
A nice crowd gathered in Lendava, and both teams had their fan support from the stands. Nafta, as mentioned, was a bit more concrete in their approach, but the ball just wouldn’t find the net. The hosts had 62% possession time, taking a total of 13 shots, five of which were on target. Mura managed eight shots, with only two on goal. Nafta also had more corners (5:3), and it wouldn’t have been wrong for three points to stay at home. But goals are what count, and neither side managed to score.
Nafta did find the net against the visitors from Murska Sobota, but the goal was disallowed. Defender Rok Pirtovšek found the net after a deflection off the visiting goalkeeper, but it turned out he was offside beforehand. Florijan Raduha also excelled in saving a superb shot from Amadej Marinič, managing just enough of a touch that the ball grazed the crossbar and flew past the goal. In summary, the Prekmurje derby ended without goals, with Nafta being slightly closer to victory, and the rivals settled for a draw.
