In the MLS league, the regular season for 2024 has concluded, and Austin is one of the clubs that will not be participating in the playoffs. In their final match of the season, Austin faced Colorado at home and triumphed in a dramatic 3-2 victory, with Žan Kolmanič as the hero for the hosts.
The Slovenian full-back started the match on the bench and only came on in the 76th minute. However, in football, you don’t always need all 90 minutes to make an impact, and Žan Kolmanič proved this in practice. Although he played for only about 20 minutes, he recorded two assists and was named the best player of the match.
When the former Maribor player entered the game, the visitors were leading 2-1. The regular time of the match was nearing its end with the score still 2-1 in favor of Colorado. Then, in the 91st minute, Ethan Finlay equalized, and in the 93rd minute, Brendan Hines–Ike scored the winning goal. Both goals were assisted by Žan Kolmanič. Interestingly, the comeback and victory were orchestrated by three players who entered the game from the bench.
Žan Kolmanič, who provided assists for both goals from the left side of the field, received a rating of 8.4 on SofaScore for his excellent performance, making him the highest-rated player of the match. After the game, he was awarded the Player of the Match.
The 24-year-old Slovenian footballer has played 15 matches in the MLS this season, recording 3 assists. He is under contract with Austin for one more year, with the club holding an option to extend the contract for an additional 12 months.
