The opening match of the 25th round of the Slovenian national championship took place in Šiška, where Bravo and Aluminij faced each other in extremely challenging playing conditions – it rained throughout the match. Spectators witnessed greater initiative from the hosts, but Bravo couldn’t convert their dominance into goals. The nets remained untouched, and Bravo and Aluminij ended with a 0:0 draw.
Truth be told, Bravo was the better team in Šiška. Ball possession was relatively even (51:49), but the difference in shots was evident – 15:4. Ljubljana’s team had 15 attempts on goal compared to the visitors’ four. However, despite seven shots on target, Bravo couldn’t find a way to beat the young goalkeeper Lan Jovanović, who recorded another match without conceding a goal.
Aluminij must also thank the frame of their goal – the hosts hit it four times! In the 83rd minute, millimeters decided after Luka Kerin‘s shot, and even before that, Matej Poplatnik could only grab his head. In the 50th minute, Poplatnik had an excellent opportunity to score but missed a penalty he earned himself. He was stopped by… the goal frame! Bravo’s top scorer experienced a unique hat-trick, hitting Aluminij’s goal frame in the first half as well. A hat-trick of crossbars and goalposts, indeed…
Anyway, the home team did almost everything necessary for a win. Only the finishing touch was missing. Consequently, it ended with a draw and a point split.
