Primorje and Nafta faced each other last season in the 2. SNL, and now they are proving themselves in the Prva liga Telemach. In both encounters, Žan Bešir participated, but interestingly, he wore the Nafta jersey in the past season and is now (again) proving himself at the club from Ajdovščina. Žan Bešir’s performance in Saturday’s match was also influenced by Nafta’s management decision to thank almost all players who helped the club achieve promotion to the elite league during the summer, which further motivated him to be the decisive player in the match.
“It was indeed a challenging game, as the Nafta players set themselves ‘quite low’ and consequently did not leave us much space,” said Žan Bešir after the match in Nova Gorica, where only about 150 spectators gathered. He scored the equalizing goal in the 57th minute, bringing the final score to 1:1.
“Due to Nafta’s style of play, we had to be patient; we had no choice but to try to be dangerous with crosses and passes from the sides into the middle. We had to wait for that one opportunity, and fortunately, we took it when it came. Unfortunately, we started the second half poorly and conceded a goal too quickly, but we did not give up. We didn’t change our system or style of play; we continued to push and work hard, and in the end, we rightfully earned a point,” concluded the 24-year-old Žan Bešir, who scored his second league goal of the 2024/25 season.
