Match Recap

Sandi Lovric broke the deadlock an hour into this UEFA Nations League clash, and Aljosa Matko put it beyond doubt with 2-0 late on to hand Slovenia a fifth win over FYR Macedonia. The hosts leaned on control rather than fireworks, patient until the second half opened things up, then made Macedonia pay twice in the space of half an hour. It's a solid start for Slovenia, who sit second with a point on the board, while Macedonia drop to fourth after an opening defeat that leaves them with plenty to fix. Neither side had a marquee name to lean on, no one from this match features among the league's top scorers, currently topped by Lamine Yamal, but Lovric and Matko did exactly the job asked of them. Two clean finishes, a clean sheet at the back, and a result that settles any early nerves in the Slovenia camp. Catch both goals, Lovric's opener and Matko's late clincher, in the highlights below.
