After the defeat against Celje, Rogaška faced another top team from the Prva liga Telemach leaderboard. This time, the opponent was Maribor, who won the match in the empty Ljudski vrt with a score of 3:0. The scorers for Maribor were Arnel Jakupović, Jan Repas, and Josip Iličić. Rogaška’s coach, Oskar Drobne, was very pleased with the first half of the game but also highlighted significant issues in the second.
“I am very satisfied with the first half. However, we must admit that they quickly scored a goal in the second half, which affected the course of the match,” said Oskar Drobne after the match in the Štajerska capital, continuing: “We fell apart, but despite everything, we allowed them too much space in the midfield. We closed down too much. Our midfielders didn’t have the best options, allowing the opponent to have more possession and be better in their comfort zone. After the first goal conceded, we fell apart. We didn’t know how to recover, and soon after, the second goal followed. It was difficult to come back. Nevertheless, I am satisfied with the first half. We lost, but we must lift our heads and move on.”
Despite the defeat, Rogaška has a 5-point lead over the ninth and tenth positions. However, Oskar Drobne doesn’t want to relax too much. “We are far from securing survival. The part of the season is coming when all teams from the bottom of the table will face each other. It will be very interesting. As I always emphasize, the image is crucial. This time, a good first half but a poor second one. Maribor deserved the win,” added Oskar Drobne after the match in the city by the Drava river.
