The opening match of the 24th round of the Slovenian championship took place on Friday in Kidričevo, where Aluminij celebrated one of the most important victories on the path to securing a place among the elite. Robert Pevnik guided his team to triumph over Mura, buried by Tin Matić‘s two goals, while the teenage goalkeeper of Aluminij, Lan Jovanović, impressed with numerous saves.
“I am very satisfied,” radiated Robert Pevnik with joy after the clash with the Prekmurje side. The former coach of Olimpija continued: “We were tactically disciplined and, at the same time, concrete in attack. We scored two goals, but we could have had two or three more. I think we were closer to the third goal than Mura was to the first. We were better, and our victory is as clear as crystal. The guys deserve congratulations; they were incredibly determined. I am really happy for these young footballers who are successfully proving themselves at the highest level of Slovenian football. I hope this will be a good springboard for them…”
As mentioned, Aluminij took a significant step towards maintaining their position, but Robert Pevnik says there is still a long way to go until the end of the season. “Currently, we are two points away from the sixth place… Before the season, I said we have quality, and I still insist on that. We haven’t secured our status yet, but at the same time, it’s true that we are very much alive in the battle for the sixth place,” emphasized the 55-year-old Robert Pevnik.
