14. And counting. Although summer is over and autumn is showing its teeth, Victor Sanchez remains unbeaten as a coach in Slovenia. On Saturday, Radomlje came close to giving the favored opponent a tough time. But that’s how it is: if you don’t take your chances, you end up paying the price. As it happened, Radomlje had two excellent chances to score at the beginning of the second half with the score 0-0: one was wasted due to poor ball control, and the other was brilliantly saved by Matevž Vidovšek. The next attack… Goal for Olimpija. A goal for the lead and the key goal on the way to a 2-0 victory.
Although Olimpija dominated Radomlje in all statistical aspects, it’s clear that the Mlinarji had more than enough chances to make life difficult for the Dragons. Nino Kukovec had a great chance in the 35th minute, but his diagonal shot just missed the target. If only Niko Gajzler, who had left Rijeka and was also being watched by Olimpija, could have controlled the ball better from 12 meters out in the 50th minute…
Or if immediately after a corner kick Matevž Vidovšek hadn’t made an incredible goal-line save. Ifs and buts. Radomlje failed to capitalize on their chances, and when Raul Florucz scored in the 53rd minute with a header from an excellent diagonal pass by Agustin Doff, Radomlje “fell apart”.
Shortly after, Ognjen Gnjatić was sent off with a second yellow card, and then Matej Mamić committed a penalty foul, which was converted by substitute Reda Boultam, who celebrated only his second goal in the Telemach First League. With Olimpija leading 2-0 and having an extra player on the field at the Domžale stadium, it was clear the game was decided. Victor Sanchez could sit calmly on the bench, having already secured his tenth victory as Olimpija’s coach.
