The second Sunday match of the eighth round of the Prva Liga Telemach was played in Celje, where the reigning champions of Slovenia hosted Nafta. The newcomer to the elite left empty-handed, thanks in part to Svit Sešlar, who joined the Styrian first division side on loan at the end of the summer transfer window. Sešlar’s debut was dreamy, as he immediately found the back of the net and contributed significantly to the 3:1 victory.
Nafta held up well against Albert Riera‘s squad for most of the first half but finally conceded just before the break when Nino Kouter delivered a masterpiece. The experienced Prekmurje player struck from 20 meters out, hitting the ball first-time with the outside of his foot. It couldn’t have been struck any better. Žan Mauricio, Nafta’s young goalkeeper, was powerless, and Nino Kouter secured one of the most beautiful goals of the season. Then, four minutes into the second half, Svit Sešlar scored on his debut, putting the victory firmly in Celje’s hands.
However, Nafta did not give up easily. In the 81st minute, Nafta’s substitute Zsombor Kalnoki-Kis stole the ball from the home team in Celje’s half, took a few steps with it, and then unleashed a stunning shot from over 30 meters with his left foot. His attempt was absolutely phenomenal, Lovro Štubljar had no chance, and Nafta was back in the game. But it was too late. The team from Lendava ran out of time for a full comeback, and Celje, through David Zec, actually scored a third goal, ending a three-match winless streak and finally celebrating a victory again in the 1. SNL.
