Match

NK Domzale run riot against NK Zavrc

5‑1, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Player ratings

Robert Vipotnik scores twice — 8.34

Two goals and a mark of 8.34 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market

NK Domzale turn down Olimpija Ljubljana for Nejc Balkovec

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

Player ratings

Santiago Segovia, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 8.32

A mark of 8.32 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market

Gregor Stojanovic hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what NK Domzale can pretend not to have heard.

Match

6 goals as NK Domzale and NK Zavrc go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between NK Domzale and NK Zavrc, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Squad

Christian Huérfano 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.

The terraces

NK Domzale supporters have found a favourite in Santiago Segovia

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 19-year-old it feels ownership of. Santiago Segovia 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.

Squad

Words at NK Domzale training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Juan Villamayor 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.

In brief

  • Squad Juan Villamayor gets it from the manager

Player ratings

Sandi Skubic runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 77. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Petar Kurtovic 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.

Market

NK Zavrc join the queue for Gregor Stojanovic

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

Player ratings

A masterclass from Nejc Balkovec

Marked 8.27 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Match

NK Domzale and Rudar Velenje take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Squad

NK Domzale pick somebody else ahead of Vid Stojanovic

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Market

Gregor Stojanovic told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Gregor Stojanovic has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at NK Domzale.

Market

Diego Otoya brings the grey hairs NK Domzale lacked

At 35, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.

Market

Juan Villamayor brings the grey hairs NK Domzale lacked

At 35, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.
