Without Argentines Cristian Romero and Giovani Lo Celso, Tottenham lost 2-1 to Mura at the stadium in Maribor, Slovenia, and was compromised in Group G of the Conference League.
The goals of the victory were converted by Tomi Horvat (PT 11 min) and the entered Amadej Marosa (ST 45 + 4 min), while Harry Kane scored the temporary equality (ST 27 min) for Tottenham, who also suffered the expulsion of Ryan Sessegnon for double warning (PT 13 and 30 min).
In this way, Antonio Konte's team is second in Group G of the Conference League with seven points, the same as Vitesse (it equaled 3-3 with Rennes, the leader with 11 points).
The next date Tottenham will have to get a good result in London against Rennes so as not to depend on their immediate pursuer, who has two fewer goals in favor.
The story of Mura, the team that committed Tottenham to the Conference League
NS Mura, or rather Nogometna sola Mura, is a Slovenian team that was founded on May 14, 2012, just over nine years ago.
He normally plays at home in the city of Fazanerija with a capacity for 5,500 people, but in the Conference League he uses the Ljudski vrt stadium (13,000 fans).
His first experience against the greats of the continent was in the Europa League 2019-20, but he was eliminated in the first qualifying round against Maccabi Haifa, one of the most important teams in Israel.
In the 2020/21 Europa League, Mura advanced through the first two qualifying rounds (vs. JK Nõmme Kalju and AGF) before being eliminated by PSV Eindhoven (5-1).
After winning the Slovenian PrvaLiga last season, Mura qualified for the 2021-22 Champions League, but was eliminated by Ludogorets in the second qualifying round.
He then suffered elimination in the 2021-22 Europa League play-offs against Sturm Graz before taking his place in the current edition of the Conference League.
Why did Cristian Romero not play for Tottenham?
On November 16, Cristian Romero suffered a hamstring injury during the 0-0 draw against Brazil, in San Juan, for the South American Qualifiers towards the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
The defender, ex-Belgrano, was felt in a run towards the area of the Argentine National Team and beyond trying to continue, he had to leave and Germán Pezzella entered his place.
It should be noted that Romero also missed the duel with a victory against Leeds (2-1) on the 12th date of the Premier League.
