K. Cipot scored in Mura's previous match, the home game against Celje that ended 1-0. Mura made it very difficult for themselves in their last game, J. Gorenc receiving a red card in the 85th minute. The match was still a draw at this point. But even with this card, Mura won the match 1-0! K. Cipot came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Celje last time out, making the manager A. Šimundža feel like a tactical genius. The end of the last match, against Celje, was very satisfying as K. Cipot scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
A loss against Sturm Graz was the result prior to that, in a Europa League home game.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Mura manager A. Šimundža as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Domzale.
