“The players owe me a match without conceding a goal!” emphasized Albert Riera a bit jokingly, but a bit seriously, after the magnificent European victory on Thursday against the guests from Turkey. Three days later, the coach of Celje did not achieve a “clean sheet.” Instead, he received a real “portion.” Radomlje scored four goals against the club from the Conference League and ultimately triumphed despite trailing twice. The match ended 4:2 in favor of the home team, who celebrated their fourth consecutive victory.
In the last two matches of Celje, believe it or not, a total of 12 goals were scored! And although the players from the principality scored 7 of them, it was only enough for one victory. This victory was undoubtedly historic, and the memory of it will last a long time. Meanwhile, fans of the Slovenian champions will try to forget the clash with Radomlje as quickly as possible. Celje lost in Domžale and suffered their fourth defeat of the season. This was also taken advantage of by Koper, which is now in third place, while Celje is fourth. Radomlje, on the other hand, is climbing up the table and is now just six points behind their recent opponent…
Radomlje, who have now beaten Celje for only the third time in 22 matches in the Prva Liga Telemach, relied mainly on the players that coach Darijan Slavic sent onto the field from the bench. Niko Gajzler registered a goal and an assist, Aleksandar Vučenović also contributed, and Sandro Zukić also got on the scoresheet. The first two played only the last 20 minutes, while Zukić came on in the 82nd minute.
Celje took the lead in the eighth minute when Matija Kavčič, last season’s best assist provider in the league, delivered a lovely pass that Mario Kvesić finished at the far post. In the 52nd minute, the hot Stjepan Davidović capitalized on a pass from Rok Štorman, skillfully creating space for a shot that beat Matjaž Rozman. In the 64th minute, Celje celebrated again when Mario Kvesić notched another assist, and Svit Sešlar scored with a powerful shot from inside the penalty area.
It seemed that Celje had done enough to secure the victory, but then the show of the millers began. In the 72nd minute, Vučenović skillfully dribbled down the right flank, and after a pass in front of the goal, Niko Glajzer fired a strong shot to equalize. In the 80th minute, Vučenović showcased his talent with a true masterpiece from nearly 30 meters, giving the millers their first lead of the match. The win for the home team was sealed by Sandro Zukić, who scored in injury time after a pass from Gajzler.
