Jure Ribič is the hero from the spot
A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Jure Ribič: 2 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Cup progress for NK Krsko
A 1‑1 win over NK Krka, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

A brace, and Christophe Bertjens takes the afternoon — 8.54
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Christophe Bertjens provided it, and the 8.54 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

No sign of nerves from Fran Penezić at 19 — 7.86
The hardest thing about being 19 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Fran Penezić did not need any: 7.86, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Christophe Bertjens in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at NK Krsko this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

NK Krsko supporters have found a favourite in Sven Opačić
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Sven Opačić 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.

Arda Yılmaztürk gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Jure Zupan falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
