Player ratings9 Nov 2026
Both of them Toni Ruso's — 8.70
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.70, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Tempers go at Lucko
Kristijan Blaževski was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

A row about effort at Lucko
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Mykyta Shevchenko was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

One of their own: Toni Ruso
He is 17 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Toni Ruso rescues a point for Lucko
It needed Toni Ruso to find the net to bring anything home at all: 2‑2 against Radnik Krizevci, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.
The dugout9 Nov 2026
No hiding place for David Tabak
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to David Tabak, and the manager let it.

Bruno Cop: “We have to be better”
“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 2‑2 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

Kristijan Blaževski knocks on the manager’s door
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Kristijan Blaževski trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Young player of the week: Toni Ruso
At 17 he was the best of everybody his age in the division for one weekend. Nobody should build a career on it and everybody quietly does.
