Soon, the devil will take the joke seriously. Mura has failed to win for the fourth time this year. Well, the one against Maribor seems to be getting awarded, but at the green table. On the field, things are going badly for the black-and-whites. Very bad indeed. So bad that the battle for survival is about to become a harsh reality for Prekmurci, whom the new coach Anton Žlogar hasn’t managed to awaken yet. This time, Mura visited Aluminij, who won thanks to two masterful goals from Tin Matić.
With this victory, Aluminij closed the gap to their opponents from Murska Sobota, who have two games in hand, to just two points. At the same time, coach Robert Pevnik‘s team escaped to +8 against the bottom-placed team Rogaška.
In the first half, spectators did not witness any goals, although the game was lively and evenly matched. Mura missed the best chance in injury time when Julien Lamy had a shot at the left post after a quick action. The Frenchman did not shoot poorly, but the home goalkeeper, Lan Jovanović, made an excellent save.
Aluminij gained an elusive advantage shortly after the start of the second half when Tin Matić scored two goals in just six minutes. First, he scored with a volley, hitting the ball unmissably even though he was falling. The more beautiful goal came in the 62nd minute when Tin Matić reached the ball just outside Mura’s penalty area. Surrounded by three defenders from the opposing team, who gave him too much space, Matić took advantage and sent the ball with his left foot irresistibly into the right upper corner of the goal defended by Florijan Raduha.
Mura could have pulled one back in the 75th minute with Tilen Ščernjavič, who had a dangerous shot inside the penalty area, but the young home goalkeeper, Lan Jovanović, once again demonstrated an excellent save. He was also in the right place in the 81st minute when he stopped Lamy’s header from five meters. The score did not change until the end of the match, and Aluminij secured only their second victory over Mura in their tenth league match in Kidričevo! Mura fell in Kidričevo for the first time since 2019 when it was also 2-0 for Aluminij, and Matic Vrbanec and Matic Maruško (own goal) scored for them.
