NK Radomlje and NS Mura shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw in Slovenia’s 1.Liga on 28 October 2026, a result that left both sides with a familiar mix of encouragement and frustration. On a cool autumn evening at Športni park Radomlje, the hosts produced enough energy and territory to win the match, while Mura’s resilience and set-piece quality earned them a point on the road.

The draw keeps Radomlje in the thick of the mid-table congestion, where a handful of points can separate a comfortable autumn from a nervy winter. For Mura, the away point is a useful addition to their tally, though the visitors will feel they did not quite do enough with the ball to turn a solid defensive display into a first away win of the run.

Match overview

The game settled into a clear pattern early. Radomlje pressed high, pushed their full-backs forward and tried to pin Mura into their own half, while the visitors sat compact in a 4-4-2 block and looked to spring forward through the channels. The home side’s best work came through the left side, where quick combinations repeatedly opened space for crosses into the box.

That pressure told in the 23rd minute. A half-cleared corner fell to the edge of the area, and Radomlje midfielder Tim Kovačič took a touch before driving a low shot through a crowded penalty area and into the bottom corner. It was a goal that rewarded the hosts’ early control and lifted the noise around the compact Radomlje ground.

Key moments

• 23’ – Radomlje 1-0: Kovačič’s low strike from the edge of the box after a partially cleared corner.
• 41’ – Mura warning: A free-kick from the right was headed just wide as Mura began to find space at set pieces.
• 67’ – Mura equalise: A whipped delivery from a free-kick was met by Amadej Maroša, whose header looped into the far corner.
• 81’ – Radomlje denied: A close-range effort was blocked on the line after a goalmouth scramble.
• 90+3’ – Late save: The Radomlje goalkeeper reacted well to push a shot around the post and preserve the draw.

Tactical story

Radomlje’s plan was built on tempo. They won second balls in midfield, forced Mura into hurried clearances and used the width of the pitch to stretch a defence that defended its box well but struggled when pulled wide. The home side’s midfield trio rotated constantly, with one player dropping deep to build while the other two pushed into the half-spaces.

Mura’s response was patient. They accepted a lower share of possession but defended with discipline, keeping their central defenders close together and asking Radomlje to play around them rather than through them. The equaliser came from exactly the kind of moment Mura had been waiting for — a set piece in a wide area, delivered with pace and attacked with conviction.

In the final 20 minutes the match opened up. Radomlje brought on fresh legs in wide areas and pushed both full-backs higher, while Mura introduced pace up front to exploit the space left behind. The result was an end-to-end finish, but neither side could find the finish that would have settled it.

Standout performers

Kovačič was at the heart of Radomlje’s best movements, not only for his goal but for the way he linked play between the lines. The home goalkeeper also deserves credit for two important second-half saves, including the stoppage-time stop that denied Mura a smash-and-grab victory.

For Mura, Maroša’s presence in the box was decisive. He held the ball up well under pressure, won several aerial duels and took his header with the kind of composure that has made him a reliable outlet in the Slovenian top flight. The visiting midfield also worked tirelessly to screen the back four, particularly during Radomlje’s strongest spell just after half-time.

What the point means

The 1-1 draw adds another tight chapter to the 1.Liga standings, where Radomlje remain a difficult team to beat at home but will need to convert territorial dominance into wins if they are to climb away from the middle pack. Mura, meanwhile, continue to look organised and hard to break down, though their search for greater attacking consistency away from home goes on.

Both sides now turn to the next round with clear homework: Radomlje must sharpen their finishing and make set-piece defending a priority, while Mura will want to turn more of their promising transitions into clear chances. On this evidence, the head-to-head between the two clubs is likely to remain tight whenever they meet again this season.
