The NK Zavrc Chronicle
Match24 Oct 2026
NK Zavrc run riot against NK Krsko
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.

The drought breaks for NK Zavrc
13 without a win is the sort of run that changes how a town talks about its club, and NK Krsko were the afternoon it stopped. Nothing is fixed by one result and everything feels different by one.

Ivan Cimerman: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” NK Zavrc have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Jurica Jurčec 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 Zavrc this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Matej Pučko runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
The terraces26 Oct 2026
One of their own: Aljaž Zalaznik
He is 20 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Daniel Katić gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Stian Džumhur in the eights
A performance of 8.46 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

A masterclass from Jurica Jurčec
Marked 8.28 — 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.
