NK Maribor’s clash with NK Bravo in the Slovenian Prva Liga turned into a rollercoaster on Sunday, with Ghanaian midfielder Eric Taylor netting his first-ever goal for the club in a dramatic 3-3 draw.
Taylor, who joined Maribor this summer from Norwegian side Kongsvinger IL, needed only two minutes after coming off the bench at halftime to announce himself. With Maribor trailing 1-0 at the break to Sandi Nuhanovic’s early strike, the 24-year-old midfielder pounced to restore parity, marking his maiden goal in Slovenian football.
His effort sparked a flurry of action. Former Ghana international Benjamin Tetteh took center stage, bagging a quick-fire brace in the 53rd and 61st minutes to hand Maribor a commanding 3-1 lead. But just when the Ljudski vrt faithful thought the game was sealed, Bravo mounted a stunning late rally.
Venuste Baboula pulled one back from the spot in the 87th minute, before substitute Rok Kopatin silenced the home crowd with a stoppage-time equaliser to snatch a point.
While Maribor were left frustrated, Taylor’s strike capped an impressive cameo. The Ghanaian now boasts one goal and two assists in seven appearances across the Prva Liga and UEFA Conference League, quickly becoming a vital piece of Maribor’s midfield puzzle.
