Romania, where he went in the early part of the current season, wasn’t a hit, but returning to Italy, where he spent the majority of his successful career, certainly was. Slovenian international Jasmin Kurtić is once again enjoying football on the Apennine Peninsula, while clearly stepping up his form ahead of Euro 2024, where he will almost certainly be taken by Slovenian coach Matjaž Kek.
Jasmin Kurtić was also one of the heroes for Südtirol on Saturday, as they convincingly defeated high-flying Cremonese at home. The northerners celebrated surprisingly, yet with a smooth victory, ending with 3:0. Jasmin Kurtić was the second-best player in the home team with a rating of 7.2 (source: SofaScore). He boosted his rating by contributing to the statistics, providing an assist to teammate Raphael Odogwu in the 39th minute, who scored the first goal of the match. The player from Bela Krajina, who played until the 64th minute, recorded his second stat after returning to Italy.
Südtirol currently occupies the 10th position in the Serie B standings and is chasing additional qualifications for promotion to the elite. Cremonese is in third place and is chasing the second place, which directly leads to Serie A. It’s worth noting that Žan Majer did not play for Cremonese this time, but due to inappropriate behavior, he still received a yellow card.
