To conclude the football weekend, the Ljudski vrt hosted the derby of the 4th round of the Prva liga Telemach between Maribor and Mura. Mura arrived in the Styrian capital on the back of three consecutive wins and opened the match in the best possible way, but Maribor staged a comeback with Arnel Jakupović playing a leading role. Ante Šimundža made nine changes to his starting eleven compared to the match against Vojvodina, including giving first starts to new signings Karol Borys and Orphe Mbina.
The visitors silenced the Styrian football temple early on, as Borna Proleta headed in a precise cross from Sandi Nuhanović in the 5th minute. The 16-time national champions quickly responded. In the 21st minute, Borys made a run down the left flank and passed the ball to Jakupović, who leveled the score with an outstanding shot from the edge of the penalty area.
The best player of July apparently did not want to stop at just one goal. In the 67th minute, Jakupović delivered a cross from the right side that, after Hilal Soudani failed to redirect it, ended up in the net of Florijan Raduha. The hosts had a tremendous opportunity to seal the victory in injury time, but a group of players failed to capitalize in front of the visitor’s goal, leaving the final score at 2:1.
