The third-league team was too low of a hurdle for Koper to stumble over: The Primorci advanced in the Slovenian Cup, 300 kilometers away from home

Koper team visited Odranci in the Pivovarna Union Cup where, against expectations and despite a 3:0 win, they were a bit beaten by the hard-working home team, who deserve praise especially for their performance in the first half.
The spectators at the local sports park did not see any goals in the first half, although the Canaries kept the pressure on the home goal throughout the half. It is worth mentioning Ene Jelenic’ s chance from 43. minutes, when he missed the impossible, headed the ball over the crossbar from about a metre away from the empty home goal.
If in the first half the home goal was “spelled” for the Copra team, it was a different story in the second half. Koper won the game within three minutes: first in the 57th minute. Nardin Mulahusejnović scored in the 60th minute with a header after a cross from a corner. Timothee Nkada follows up with a precise shot from the left side of the box. Bede Osuji confirmed Koper’s progression to the round of eight with three minutes left in regulation time after a quick double pass.
Koper will be back on action on Sunday, when they host Aluminij in Kidričevo.
