The Rovinjo players secured a convincing victory over Pazin in a friendly match played at the SC Egidio Marini stadium in Pazin. The home team was unable to match the visiting side, which controlled the flow of the game from the start.
The match took its direction early as Šerifović scored for the lead for Rovinjo in the second minute. Although Pazin tried to respond, the home defence was solid, and the situation was further complicated by Prenc, who received a red card in the 35th minute for protesting to referee Sandi Orbanić. This left Pazin with one player less and they were unable to pose a threat.
Rovinjo continued to dominate and increased their lead to 2-0. Kukić scored his first goal for the Kanin in the 28th minute, a goal that held special significance as the scorer was celebrating his birthday that day. At the end of the first half, in the 45th minute, Tošić set the score at 3-0 for the visitors.
The second half of the match saw a further change to the score when Mofardin scored in the 70th minute to make it 3-1. Although Pazin tried to reduce the deficit, Rovin held on to their lead until the final whistle. The match was watched by 50 spectators.
This victory comes after Rovin had lost to the juniors of Istria 1961 in the previous friendly. The Kanin are now preparing for the next challenge, with the next match taking place on Saturday at Valbruna against Uljan.
