Prosper Obiora Nwachukwu leads the rout of Slovan Ljubljana
5‑2, and Prosper Obiora Nwachukwu took the headlines on an afternoon when everything ND Gorica tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

A day Prosper Obiora Nwachukwu will not forget
3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Nura Salisu, 19, steals the show — 7.92
Marked 7.92 at 19, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Tempers go at ND Gorica
Andrija Drljo 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.

7 goals as ND Gorica and Slovan Ljubljana go for it
Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 7 goals between ND Gorica and Slovan Ljubljana, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

One of those days for Prosper Obiora Nwachukwu
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.37, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

ND Gorica rebuffed over Antonio Marin
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Olimpija Ljubljana have kept their man, and ND Gorica go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The crowd has taken to Andrija Drljo
At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Andraz Elsnik steps up from the ND Gorica academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Andraz Elsnik has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
