Koper defeats Mura 1-0 amid refereeing controversy

NK Koper secured a 1-0 victory against NK Mura following a late goal by Robert Berić in the 94th minute. The match was marked by significant controversy regarding the officiating by Rade Obrenović.

Mura coach Mitja Mörec expressed frustration with the refereeing, specifically citing the frequent calling of minor fouls which he argued disrupted the game's dynamics. He also noted the impact of a disallowed goal by Kenan Kurtović. Mörec suggested that if every such duel were whistled, matches would see hundreds of fouls.

Following the match, tensions at the Fazanerija stadium escalated, with fans directing whistles and insults at the officiating crew, requiring a police escort for the referees to leave the venue. Some local reports highlighted allegations of bias toward Koper, though the primary focus remained on the controversial decisions that shaped the final result.
