Returning to the Slovenian green Beric breathlessly ended the winless streak Koper

The sixth round of the first league in Slovenia featured several matches with varying outcomes. The match between Celje and Radomlje was postponed due to strong thunderstorms, while Aluminij won against Brinje Grosuplje (4:2) after a storm interrupted the game. Olimpia secured their second victory in Stožice against Nafta, but concerns remain over injury to Dimitar Mitrovski. In Fazanerija, Mura faced Koper, where returning player Robert Berić scored the decisive goal in stoppage time, helping Koper draw with the leading team Maribor. The highlight of the round was the match at Ljudski vrt between Maribor and Brava. Koper narrowly avoided extending their winless streak, with Berić’s late goal securing a point. Other notable performances included Bede Osuji scoring his fourth goal to top the scoring chart. The fifth round saw the first derby of the season between Olimpia and Maribor, which ended in a draw. Despite the points, both teams remain at the bottom of the table.

Koper's six-game winless streak was halted in dramatic fashion on Saturday evening as they secured a 1-0 victory over Mura at Fazanerija Stadium. The decisive moment came in the 94th minute when experienced forward Robert Berić headed home a cross from Alvaro Roncal, breaking the deadlock and earning the visitors their first win of the season. This result brought Koper level with league leaders Maribor on nine points, despite having collected two fewer points than their rivals up to this point. The match had been a tense affair from the outset, with both teams struggling to break down each other’s defenses. Koper, under manager Zoran Zeljković, made several changes to their starting lineup, notably introducing Simon Nsana to replace injured player Leo Štulac. However, the early stages saw little threat from either side, with Mura's young attacker Niko Kasalo coming closest to scoring in the seventh minute, though his shot lacked precision. On the opposite end, Mura's Stefano Surdanović had a promising run in the 15th minute before squandering a chance against goalkeeper Adnan Golubović. In the 18th minute, Mura had a golden opportunity when Kenan Kurtović appeared to score, but the goal was disallowed after referee Rade Obrenović reviewed footage and determined that Kurtović had pushed away defender Luko Gučka before making contact with the ball. This decision kept the scoreline at 0-0 heading into halftime. Both sides made tactical adjustments during the break, with Zeljković bringing on Nsana to bolster Koper's attack, while Mura's coach Mitja Mörec introduced Faad Sana to add depth to his squad. The second half saw more chances, including a near-miss from Nsana in the 49th minute and a powerful strike from Nino Kouter in the 68th minute that rattled the crossbar. As the game entered its final moments, tension mounted. In the 80th minute, Fran Tomek missed a close-range shot, and later, in the 85th minute, Mura's Ivan Borna Jelić Balta fired wide after a header attempt. Just as it seemed the match might end in a draw, Berić stepped up to deliver the decisive blow. His header, assisted by Roncal, found the back of the net in the dying seconds of stoppage time, securing Koper's crucial victory. This win marks a turning point for Koper, who have struggled to find consistency in the league this season. With the result, they move closer to challenging the top of the table, particularly after Maribor's upcoming clash with Bravo. Meanwhile, Mura will face Brava in the seventh round, while Koper has a match against Aluminij scheduled for the following day. The match also highlighted the importance of set pieces and late-game resilience, with Berić's goal serving as a reminder that even the most tightly contested matches can be decided by a single moment of brilliance. As the season progresses, both teams will need to build on these performances to maintain their positions in the standings.
