Maribor began the match against Kidričevo as anticipated. The initial half saw the purple team generate numerous opportunities, yet they failed to convert them effectively. A crucial penalty occurred in the second minute of added time, with Aleksandar Zeljković successfully scoring from a corner, aided by a fortunate deflection within the penalty area.
Throughout the second half, Maribor lacked significant attacking threat. Ultimately, Hillal Soudani, a substitute player, secured the team a vital point in the referee’s additional time. “It’s certainly not the outcome we desired,” stated Feđa Dudić before the game.
“However, achieving a goal so late necessitates a degree of satisfaction.”
Dudić quickly shifted his focus to the frustrations of the Friday evening in Kidričevo. “I cannot be pleased with the manner in which we scored a goal from a breakaway attack. It’s absurd that this resulted in a penalty; it’s fundamentally unfair that we missed a clear opportunity from that position,” he added.
The result leaves Maribor needing to improve their performance moving forward.
