Nobody could get near Timotej Drobež
Successful dribbles: 28. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Nik Belovič, 18, steals the show — 8.16
Marked 8.16 at 18, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Slovan Ljubljana supporters have found a favourite in Žan Baskera
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Žan Baskera has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

The manager makes an example of Anel Puškar
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
