Olimpija\u2019s cup run this season ended with a quarter-final defeat to Brinje, who held on to the lead they took from a set piece in the opening minutes throughout the match. The Dragons pushed right until the final whistle, but unfortunately couldn\u2019t beat the in-form home goalkeeper. In stoppage time, Olimpija\u2019s pressure was also interrupted by an incident involving the irrigation system being switched on. <\/p>\n
After the match, Olimpija head coach Federico Bessone did not hide his disappointment: “We\u2019re very disappointed with the result, because I think we didn\u2019t deserve to lose, but that\u2019s football. When you go out there and in the first five minutes you commit two unnecessary fouls, Brinje will take advantage of that. I\u2019m angry and disappointed, but if you don\u2019t take the chances you get, it\u2019s hard to win.”<\/p>\n
A home Eternal Derby follows on Sunday: “In the morning we\u2019ll train again and start preparing for Sunday\u2019s match. Even so, after the break we won four matches and drew once, so I still say we\u2019re in good form. We managed to change our mentality and we have to keep going. It\u2019s clear we\u2019re disappointed, I\u2019ll say it again. Now we really have to work hard so that on Sunday we try to take all three points and at least repay the fans a little.”<\/p>\n
