Not only Maribor, on Wednesday, Celje also played a friendly match. While the purple team played against a Slovenian fourth-league team and defeated them 14-0, Celje faced the champion of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Borac. The task was accordingly tougher, but the result wasn’t quite as expected. At the Z’dežele stadium, where construction work is underway to complete the venue in time for European matches, the game ended in a 2-2 draw. It’s noteworthy that coach Damir Krznar’s team managed to secure the draw with a goal in the last minute, from a penalty kick.
For Celje, which this week learned their first European opponent for this year (Flora from Tallinn), the first goal of the match was scored by Edmilson, and the second by Luka Bobičanec. The club from Banja Luka led twice, first with a goal from Stojan Vranješ and then with a goal from Enver Kulašin. Vranješ scored in the 9th minute, while Kulašin found the net in the 88th minute. The match was closed to the public, and Celje did not disclose the names of the players who featured against Borac.
