On the first match, Slovenia U19 drew against Qatar, and the game was interrupted due to a heavy downpour, leaving the final 15 minutes unplayed. Slovenia U19, led by coach Mišo Brečko, was again out of luck in the second round of this year’s Slovenia Nations Cup tournament. After moving from Preddvor to Ljubljana, where they faced Poland at the ŽAK Stadium in Šiška, the opponent won 2-1, with the decisive goal scored in the 91st minute.
The Poles, with Karol Borys from Maribor among their squad, took the lead in the 44th minute when the Slovenian crossbar was rattled, and Oskar Tomczyk from Wisla Plock capitalized on the rebound and scored. Slovenia equalized in the 54th minute after a foul in the penalty box. The responsibility fell to Luka Topalović, who converted the penalty and tied the game at 1-1.
Last Match of Slovenia Nations Cup Against Ireland
The game-deciding goal was scored in the 91st minute when the Poles made several quick passes, outplaying the Slovenian defense. Kacper Nowakowski, a player for last year’s Polish champion Raków, fired a low and precise shot from 15 meters, securing the win for Poland.
Slovenia started the second match with the lineup: Žnuderl, Kerin, Obrić, Golič, Pejičić, Mlakar, Topalović, Grlić, Petrović, Dovžan Karahodžić, Hrvatin. Slovenia will play one more match in the Slovenia Nations Cup tournament, facing Ireland on Tuesday in Kranjska Gora.
