On Saturday, we already reported on this, that during the match of the 3rd SNL, where Izola and Jesenice faced each other, the atmosphere was so tense it could have been cut with a knife. Even the police had to intervene, guarding the visitors’ dressing room and then escorting them back towards Gorenjska. We also noted that the passions flared after the fifth goal of the match, with which Jesenice secured a 3-2 win. But what really happened, and what was the real reason that the supporters of the home supporters’ group Ribari completely lost their nerves?
As an eyewitness to the colorful events at the stadium in this coastal town, where top-tier football was once also followed, told us, the Jesenice players deliberately celebrated their third goal in front of the section of the stands where the home supporters were. According to the witness, one of the visiting players allegedly made a “finger on lips” gesture to the Ribari supporters, signaling them to be quiet, but this only had the opposite effect.
The fans threw several objects in the direction of the Jesenice players, including a bottle, and one of the guests is said to have picked up one of the objects and thrown it back onto the stands. “This caused an explosion of rage,” reported the eyewitness. The Izola club, while (unofficially) condemning the behavior of their supporters and not addressing it formally, also believes that it would be unfair to solely blame their fans this time… How the disciplinary judge of the Football Association of Slovenia (NZS) will respond will undoubtedly be interesting to see… There is no doubt that a lot of work awaits him.
