The start of the 31st round of the 1. SNL this time on Saturday only with a match in Rogaška Slatina, where the Celje team, despite some drama towards the end of the match, made a significant step towards winning the national championship.
In the first half, we witnessed a calm game from the visitors with a few attempts, while the team from the spa town waited for counterattacks and had a few opportunities that remained unconverted, so both teams went to halftime with the initial score.
The crucial outcome unfolded in the last thirty minutes of the match. First, in the 56th minute, Damir Krznar made a key substitution by sending in Gregor Bajde, who just four minutes later, after a quick counterattack and a pass from Aljoša Matko, found the back of the net. Bajde increased Celje’s lead moments later, as in the 63rd minute, with some luck and with the help of the home defense, he scored his second goal.
While it seemed like a routine victory for the Counts, things got a bit complicated in the 84th minute when Rade Obrenović awarded a penalty in favor of Rogaška. The responsibility fell to none other than Patrik Mijić, who justified the trust moments later. The hosts entered the final phase of the match with the desire to secure at least one point at home. The issues of Bajde also helped them a bit, as he gritted his teeth and remained on the field despite the pain, as Celje had already used all their available substitutions by that point. However, the team spirit evidently prevailed over the desire for a goal, as the leading team on the table managed to calmly bring the match to an end.
The matches of the 31st round of the Prva liga Telemach will be back on tomorrow, starting with Maribor visiting Bravo in Šiška at 3 PM. This will be followed by the third encounter between Mura and Koper in the last month, and the day will conclude with a match between Domžale and Olimpija in Kamniška Bistrica.
