The very good performance in the opening round at Stožice was no coincidence – Rogaška is dead serious. The black and whites proved this in the opening Saturday match of the 21st round in the Prva Liga Telemach, where they faced Domžale in front of their own fans. The black and whites celebrated their fourth victory of the season, which significantly reinvigorated their fight for survival in the elite league.
In the spa town, we witnessed a particularly eventful first half, as the net shook three times within the first fifteen minutes. First, there was another change in Rogaška’s goalkeeping, as Žan Lorber was replaced by Ajdin Mulalić in the heat of all the rules. After five minutes of play, we witnessed the first goal, when Patrik Mijić masterfully finished from a turn, and moments later, he was accurate again when he found himself alone in front of Lovro Štubljar. The yellow team managed to respond to the quick shock and in the 14th minute, they reduced the deficit through captain Benjamin Markuš. Just before the end of the first half, the guests had a chance to get back into the game, but Mulalić magnificently saved a penalty taken by Jošt Pišek.
In the second half, the hosts started more determinedly, as they increased their lead in the 64th minute through Gaš Kurež, who punished the confusion in the visiting defense. Adding the finishing touch to the outstanding performance of Oskar Drobneta‘s proteges was Alen Korošec, who scored after a beautiful solo action just before the end of the match. Rogaška managed to beat Domžale for the first time, who suffered their second defeat of the year.
More coming soon.
