Match

NK Maribor run riot against NK Zavrc

3‑0, 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

Both of them Hilal Soudani's — 9.22

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.22, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Transfer targets

NK Maribor bid $4.8M for Rafita

The offer went to Málaga this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Transfer targets

NK Maribor rebuffed over David Kalokoh

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Ajax have kept their man, and NK Maribor go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Player ratings

Jan Mlakar 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.

Transfer targets

No deal for Aljaž Zalaznik at that price

NK Maribor offered $96.0K; Koper said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Squad

A falling-out at NK Maribor

Petar Stojanović and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Dario Vizinger at his very best

Marked 8.01. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at NK Maribor.

Squad

Benjamin Tetteh 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.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Karol Borys at 19 — 7.92

The hardest thing about being 19 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Karol Borys did not need any: 7.92, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Player ratings

Čedomir Bumbić beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 25. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

Žan Karničnik signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Žan Karničnik and NK Maribor agree another 3 years.

Squad

Žan Karničnik 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 Maribor this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Dario Vizinger 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.

Transfer targets

Grasshopper tell NK Maribor: Nikolas Muci is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The terraces

NK Maribor supporters have found a favourite in Karol Borys

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

Match

Karol Borys sends NK Maribor past Rudar Velenje

It finished 2‑0, and it was Karol Borys’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to NK Maribor.

Squad

Jean Michaël Seri retires from international football

“64 caps. I have loved every one, and it is somebody else’s turn.” At 35 he has stepped away from his country and is going nowhere at NK Maribor.
