Tian Varmaz Plava runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 46. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Luka Bijol signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Luka Bijol and NK Domzale agree another 3 years.

ND Gorica made NK Domzale work for it, but the scoreboard read 4‑3 at the end and the table does not ask how.

One of those days for Vid Mevlja
