Squad

A fracture rules Jan Kurtovic out for 71 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason NK Domzale will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings

Miha Handanovic scores twice — 8.22

Two goals and a mark of 8.22 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings

Adrian Nita, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.63

A mark of 7.63 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market

Rok Elsnik puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at NK Domzale, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Miha Handanovic

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Gregor Cerin 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

Words at NK Domzale training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Miha Handanovic 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.

Match

Miha Handanovic sends NK Domzale past Koper

It finished 3‑1, and it was Miha Handanovic’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to NK Domzale.

The terraces

NK Domzale supporters have found a favourite in Adrian Nita

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Adrian Nita 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.

In brief
