Friday’s away trip to Lendava ended with the points shared. The Dragons took the lead in the 38th minute thanks to Indrit Tuci, but the hosts equalised midway through the second half through Amadej Maroša to set the final score.

“I think what we lacked most was desire. We showed it in the first half, but in the second we didn’t have it, and that’s why the result is what it is. Before the next match, we mainly need to fix that—everyone has to give 100%, stick together, and focus on the next home game after the break against Radomlje, where we’ll try to take all three points,” Dino Kojić said after the draw with Nafta.

Robert Mišković said: “The first half was significantly better from our side. We were dangerous in front of Nafta’s goal and should have got more out of it. Then came a drop in our game after the break. A goal in the first half would definitely have made things easier for us, because we could have seen the match out more calmly. A similar drop happened to us against Mura as well, when we also ended up with just a point. We have to accept it and keep working. We’re unbeaten for five matches in a row now, and now we have to do everything we can to take as many points as possible from the remaining three matches this year.”
