From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Antonio Kovacevic

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market

Sandi Vipotnik asks to leave NK Domzale

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

NK Domzale say no — this time

The offer from HNK Gorica for Goran Kramaric was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Player ratings

Tian Varmaz Plava runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Vid Mevlja 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 Domzale this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Luka Bijol 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.

Match

Honours even between NK Domzale and Koper

2‑2, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Squad

Vid Handanovic dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Player ratings

Marquinho changes it off the bench

He was not in the side at half past three and he had settled it before five. Half an hour, and NK Domzale had a different afternoon.

Player ratings

Both of them Goran Kramaric's — 8.75

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.75, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings

Jure Oblak runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 28. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Antonio Kovacevic keeps NK Domzale in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match

NK Domzale cannot stop winning

3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Squad

Tempers go at NK Domzale

Vid Mevlja 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.

Match

Goran Kramaric the difference as NK Domzale beat Rudar Velenje

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Goran Kramaric. 3‑2 against Rudar Velenje, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Market

NK Krka join the queue for Petar Kurtovic

Add another name to the list: NK Krka have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Petar Kurtovic. The answer from NK Domzale has not changed — yet.

Squad

Words at NK Domzale training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Luka Bijol is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings

Luka Bijol in the eights

A performance of 8.48 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings

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.

Squad

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.

Squad

Tempers go at NK Domzale

Vid Mevlja 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.

Match

NK Domzale find a way past ND Gorica

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

Match

Jan Balkovec among the goals in a wild afternoon

7 goals in one match, Jan Balkovec on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of NK Domzale and ND Gorica.

Squad

Miha Bijol 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Benjamin Sesko

“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.

Player ratings

Luka Bijol in the eights

A performance of 8.37 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings

One of those days for Vid Mevlja

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.07, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

Petar Kampl runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 36. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

3 goals for Luka Bijol

The match ball belongs to Luka Bijol, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Market

NK Domzale turn down NK Krka for Petar Kurtovic

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Luka Bijol wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at NK Domzale hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad

Vid Mevlja 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 Domzale this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Luka Bijol 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.

Match

NK Domzale find a way past NK Krsko

NK Krsko made NK Domzale work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

Vid Handanovic signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Vid Handanovic commits to NK Domzale for another 2 years.

Match

Luka Bijol at the heart of a fast NK Domzale start

2 goals inside twenty minutes with Luka Bijol in the middle of it, and NK Krsko unable to get near the ball long enough to change anything. Some matches are won before the first drink.
