In the cup, Maribor advanced to the round of 16, but in the league, due to Rogaška’s victory, they found themselves at the bottom of the Prva Liga Telemach table – a truly eventful week for Radomlje. In Rogaška Slatina, we witnessed a real battle for survival on a rainy Sunday, which ended in favor of the revived Rogaška. They achieved another good result, defeating Radomlje, climbing to ninth place in the premier league standings and pushing their opponents to the bottom of the table.
The match, quite balanced and especially very intense, was decided at the end of the first half when the guests made a completely unnecessary mistake. After an awkward throw-in, the hosts gained possession in the middle of the field and launched a quick counter-attack. Alen Korošec finished it, initially hitting Emil Velić, but he was lucky as the ball bounced back to his feet. The 22-year-old, proving himself more and more on the premier league stage, did not miss the second chance, and Rogaška took the lead.
In the second half, the Millers tried to equalize, but the home defense was solid enough. Besides, let’s be honest, Ajdin Mulalić didn’t have much serious work to do… The most heated moment came just before the end of the match when veteran Uroš Korun pushed the home coach unsportingly near the sideline. Oskar Drobne ended up on the ground, and referee Bojan Mertik rightly showed the 36-year-old Radomlje defender a red card.
With one less player, Madžid Šošić had a good opportunity to equalize, but in the last minute, he shot poorly from the left side, unable to beat the well-positioned Mulalić. This was also the last chance for the visitors, who had to accept another defeat. The margin could have been somewhat higher if the home team had been more skillful in front of Radomlje’s goal in the last minutes, where significant gaps appeared after Korun’s expulsion.
