Tim Matavž took quite some time to score his first goal in the Croatian national championship, but lately, he’s been doing much better in finding the net. The 35-year-old former Slovenian international has scored 4 times in the current season, including last weekend when he was the hero for HNK Gorica.
HNK Gorica faced Slaven at home and defeated the club from Koprivnica 1-0. Ivan Banić, former goalkeeper of Olimpija, contributed to the victory with three saves, and another former member of the dragons from Ljubljana, Dino Štiglec, also played a decent game. But the hero of HNK Gorica was Tim Matavž, who scored the only goal of the match.
Tim Matavž played until the 84th minute, and he found the net after about an hour of play when he was the most agile in the five-meter goalkeeper’s area. He beat the home goalkeeper, Ivan Sušak, with a shot from a turn. Tim Matavž and his teammates, celebrating their first win in eight rounds (they lost seven times in this dismal streak), are currently in 6th place in the standings of the first Croatian league.
