Brotherly connections in Slovenian senior football are not uncommon. At Maribor, the midfield line has often been composed of Jan and Žiga Repas in the past year, while at Mura, Kai and Tio Cipot played together in the past. At Olimpija, at the start of this season, we saw the brothers Nemanja and Nikola Motika, although they did not share minutes on the pitch.
On Saturday, a brotherly duo also appeared in the 2. SNL match between Brinje from Grosuplje and Beltinci. For the Prekmurje side, Tian and Marin Rantaša both started in the lineup, but neither remained on the pitch until the end of the first half.
The younger of the brothers, Tian, received a yellow card in the 30th minute, and just three minutes later, Marin suffered an injury. Due to the injury, he had to leave the field prematurely, and soon after, Tian joined him in the locker room, having earned a second yellow card and a dismissal in the 40th minute. Beltinci returned from Grosuplje with a 2:0 defeat, with goals scored for the home team by Ajdin Dergić and Nejc Klašnja.
A similar story involving a dismissal has already occurred in Slovenian football, although in that case, the brothers remained on the pitch into part of the second half. In the 2012/2013 season, in a first-league match between Mura and Gorica, brothers Alen and Kris Jogan both started for the visitors. Kris was dismissed in the 47th minute, and his brother Alen left the field ten minutes later, receiving two yellow cards in the same minute. Gorica also lost that match, with a final score of 3:1.
