In the National Football Center in Brdo pri Kranju, the Slovenian U19 team was in action on Friday. Under the guidance of head coach Mišo Brečko, the team faced their counterparts from Austria and unfortunately lost the match with a score of 2-1.
All three goals were scored in the first half. Austria took the lead in the 18th minute through Florent Hajdini, and in the 38th minute, Jovan Živković doubled their advantage with a goal from the penalty spot. Slovenia managed to score their only goal during injury time of the first half, also from a penalty taken by Luka Topalović, a player from Milan’s Inter, bringing the score to 2-1. The second half saw no further changes to the scoreline.
The Slovenian team fielded the following lineup: Blažič, Dovžan Karahodžić (substituted by Zabukovnik in the 66th minute), Anželj, Obrić (substituted by Drobnič in the 76th minute), Hrvatin, Pejičić (substituted by Osterc in the 76th minute), Kerin (substituted by Bilać in the 57th minute), Topalović (substituted by Koren in the 66th minute), Bendra (substituted by Tomšić in the 39th minute), Kojzek (substituted by Kurtović in the 12th minute), and Grlić. Notably, the promising player Erik Kojzek had to leave the game due to a head injury after just ten minutes, which was undoubtedly a blow for Brečko’s squad given his form as a player in Austria.
Brečko’s charges will begin their qualifications for the European Championship next month, participating in a tournament in the Netherlands, where they will compete against the hosts, as well as Ukraine and Kazakhstan. The top two positions in the group will qualify for the next round.
