Do you remember what you were doing on August 21, 2004? Over 20 years ago? Probably not, right? Well, unless you’re a fan of Mura. That was the last time Mura defeated Olimpija in Ljubljana! Both clubs have, of course, been in lower leagues since then and did not play each other for a while, but 20 years is still a long time to believe. And so it is, Mura cannot win in Ljubljana, and this time was no different.
Moreover, they were thoroughly beaten. On Sunday evening, Olimpija completely destroyed the guests from Murska Sobota at Stožice. Mura resisted the invincible Sanchez’s team for some time, but once Raul Florucz scored the first goal of the match, Mura fell apart. The match ended 4:0 in favor of the Dragons.
Regarding that match which only a few remember: on August 21, 2004, Mura won 2:0. The Stožice stadium was not yet on the horizon; Olimpija played at the Central Stadium behind Bežigrad, where 400 spectators gathered. For the home team, the legendary Boštjan Cesar and Branko Ilić played in the second half, and their captain was Dušan Kosić. The guests were led by Bojan Prašnikar, and the win was secured by Patrik Ipavec and Petar Šopov with goals in the second half.
The clubs have since played 19 matches in Ljubljana, and Mura has not won a single one. Olimpija has recorded 13 wins and only 6 times did the black-and-whites from Fazanerija leave the field with their heads down. No wonder, tradition is hard to break!
