Primorje has once again succumbed after three excellent performances. In the seventh round of the Prva liga Telemach, Maribor proved to be a formidable opponent. The guests from Ajdovščina initially took the lead, but the Ljudski vrt remains unconquered in 2024. The only scorer for Primorje was Semir Smajlagić, who scored in the 20th minute.
Maribor then responded with four goals, with Etienne Beugre, Gregor Sikošek, and Orphe Mbina scoring twice. The coach of Ajdovci, Milan Anđelković, highlighted that his team started the match well but then faced the physical strength of Maribor, which led to three quick goals from the opponent in the last ten minutes of the first half.
“Until the 35th minute, we played well. Maribor then showed their physical strength. They have two very strong forwards who are used to such duels. This contributed to three goals in the last 10 minutes of the first half. I don’t blame the players for anything. We need to build on the first 35 minutes. But football is played for 90 minutes, and we need to gradually increase our energy and aggression. We will persist and see what happens,” said the coach of Primorje after the match in Štajerska.
Milan Anđelković admitted that playing in Ljudski vrt is a big challenge: “It is difficult to play in Ljudski vrt. Even a larger number of matches in the first league shows somewhere. I hope we can fix these issues as soon as possible. Now we have an international break. First, we will rest, and then we will have to dig into work and grind.“
