Although Martin Matoša refereed his first eternal derby, the 28-year-old official performed his duties very well. Ante Šimundža, the coach of Maribor, publicly praised him and compared his officiating to that at the European level. Similarly, Zoran Zeljković was generally satisfied with his work. However, there was still something that bothered the coach of Olimpija. What, it’s not hard to guess – the expulsion of Justas Lasickas.
“For me, that was an unnecessary red card,” emphasized Zoran Zeljković after the 156th eternal derby, and continued, “Our player was far from the goal. This week in the Champions League, we saw a similar situation where a player was also sent off, but at least he prevented the opponent from going alone to the goal. That was truly an unnecessary situation.”
Nevertheless, the Ljubljana coach added regarding Matoša: “The officiating was very good. I repeat, I like that the game is left to be a man’s game. He didn’t whistle for small fouls for either us or them, which helps the tempo of the game. Truly very good officiating.“
