Although he is not a classic striker, Tio Cipot has been scoring goals for the U21 Euro qualifiers like clockwork. The young Prekmurian, who transferred from Italy to Austria this summer, also found the net on Tuesday, sealing Slovenia’s 2-0 victory over Cyprus at Fazanerija with his goal. Tio Cipot scores goals in qualifiers just like Zlatko Zahović used to: always at the right place at the right time, and then… Well, then his individual quality really comes to the fore, which has never been in doubt.
Tio Cipot, the new member of Austrian club Grazer AK, celebrated his sixth goal in the qualifiers against Cyprus. He is Slovenia’s top scorer with excellent chances to qualify for the European Championship, and Tio Cipot is even in the running for the title of the most effective player of the entire qualification campaign! Currently, Tio Cipot shares second place on the top scorers list, with only three players ahead of him, each with a one-goal advantage (7).
Tio Cipot in a Group with Only Four Opponents
At the top of the overall scorers’ list for all qualification groups are Noah Ohio, a player for Utrecht and Dutch national team member, Otso Liimatta, a Finnish forward playing for Famalicao in Portugal, and Harvey Elliott, a Liverpool prospect who shines in England’s squad. Five players, including Croatian forward Marin Ljubičić, have also scored six goals, just like the 21-year-old Slovenian.
It’s worth noting that the achievement of the former Mura and Spezia player is even more remarkable because Slovenia is competing in a group with only five teams. For instance, Ohio needed nine matches to score seven goals, Liimatta needed eight, while Cipot scored six goals in just seven matches.
