Radomlje win a lively municipal derby and deepen Domžale crisis: Dušan Kosič has four defeats in five games
Domžale used to be, in “the richest Slovenian municipality”, in a class of their own, Radomlje a toddler who could only wish that he could one day be what Big Brother was then. But nothing lasts forever, and little brother has grown up too. Radomlje is the current ruler of the Domžale municipality, after Oliver Bogatinov ‘s side won an intense local derby 3-1. Radomlje got their second win of the season, while Domžale are in a growing crisis. They have not won since Dušan Kosić took charge, with only one point in five games.
The first half of Sunday’s opening game in the Telemach First League was a real treat. The goals were raining down, with the spectators seeing four in the space of just 20 minutes. Mlinarji took the lead in 19. In the first minute, Ivan Krolo breaks down the left side of the box and into the visitors’ goal. He threw Ranaldo Ranaldino Biggs out of the game and fired, hitting Abraham Nwankwo, who changed the ball’s direction of flight enough for it to end up behind the back of Gasper Tratnik.
Four minutes later Domžale equalised when young Luka Topalović scored a masterpiece. Domžale’s hope was playing in front of the penalty area and with a great move he threw Dejan Vokić out of the game. A great shot from 18 metres was followed by Topalović leaving no chance for Luka Bash.

Ten minutes later, Radomlje took the lead again, with a goal by the newcomer in the yellow and black jersey, Brazilian forward Caio Cruz. The hosts made another run down the left wing, and Stipo Marković crossed the ball to the far post. The South American met her there, stopped her with his thigh muscle, and then punched her from the first. The shot was extremely accurate, but Tratnik was helpless.
Six minutes later it was already 3:1, with another summer rookie – Dejan Vokić– making his debut. The former Maribor player “gave it back” to Topalović and signed his own masterpiece. Radomlje took the third action down the left side, finally a cross was delivered by the Hungarian Shošić, and Vokić struck from 20 metres out with his left foot, ripping the Domžale net with a precisely timed shot.
The second half was not nearly as exciting as the first. Both home and away had their chances, but the score never changed. Radomlje enjoyed an important victory, but Domžale will have to think seriously about the way forward…
