After the first half of the midweek match in the opening game of the 30th round of the national championship, it wasn’t already 4:0, 5:0 for the home team, the home team must thank primarily … themselves! Well, and somewhat to Matija Orbanić, Bravo’s goalkeeper. The latter shined, but even that wasn’t enough for Celje to avoid wasting opportunities and not make an important step towards another victory on the way to their second national title. We also saw some nervous warfare later on, Bravo didn’t want to give up, but regardless, the victory remained at home – 2:1 for Celje.
Celje served a rare hat-trick of missed opportunities already in the first hour of the game: Tamar Svetlin hit the crossbar, David Zec hit the post, and Denis Popović even missed a penalty kick! The latter was earned by the hosts thanks to Rolando Aarons, who was too fast for Matija Kavčič, leaving him no choice but to stop him with a foul. Aarons wanted to take the penalty himself, but in the end, the captain Popović took the ball. He shot to the left, but Matija Orbanić read it well and prevented Celje from scoring with an excellent save.
