Telemach First League
Olimpija has increased its lead over the closest pursuer to a whopping 14 points.
Maribor deservedly won the Styrian derby, which was abandoned due to the punishment of both head coaches. The Violistas outplayed a rival that was more than a little helpless in Ljudski vrt and it seemed that the two teams could have played for a while longer, but it wouldn’t have ended any differently. Well, once again, Ažbe Jug contributed to this, it has to be admitted, with his masterful intervention, especially in the first half, when he prevented Damjan Vuklišević’s joy with an outstanding reaction.
But this was one of the few bright flashes for Celje, who lost the game within half an hour. After just four minutes, he passed in front of the goal Jan Rep, Žan Vipotnik failed to get the ball rolling, but a playful Ivan Brnić and Maribor took the lead for sure. Half an hour later, Brnić added another assist to the statistics. From the left, he sent the ball to the other post, where, in the style of born goal scorers, Žan Vipotnik was quick enough and .. 2:0!

The score remained the same for the rest of the match, but Maribor’s victory was never seriously threatened. The most damaging was the knee injury to Gregor Sikoško, who had to be taken off the pitch. It is not yet known how serious the injury is.
