Slovenia faced Moldova in Šiška and at the beginning of the qualifying cycle secured a 2-0 victory. The Slovenian women fulfilled the pre-match predictions and controlled the game from the very beginning. The victory could have been even more significant, but the visiting goalkeeper made some wonderful saves. Simultaneously, the second match of the group was played in Latvia. After a goal fest, the North Macedonian women won it 4-3. Therefore, after the first round, due to a better goal difference, our girls occupy the first place in Group C2.
Slovenian Women Opened European Championship Qualification with Two Masterpieces
The Slovenian women started the game quite aggressively, and very early on, Zala Kuštrin found herself in two good opportunities, but the visiting goalkeeper was in the right place on both occasions. The Slovenian women besieged the Moldovan goal and were rewarded for their persistence in the second minute of injury time. Lara Prašnikar received the ball after a throw-in somewhere in the middle of the field, embarked on a solo run, and after a successful double dribble, managed to beat the visiting goalkeeper. The latter was powerless against Lara Prašnikar’s extremely precise shot.
Our girls thus went into halftime with a minimal but deserved lead. The second half also proceeded in our favor, once again, we witnessed most of the action in front of Moldova’s goal. The final 2-0 result was set in the 56th minute by today’s in-form Zala Kuštrin. She surprised the Moldovan goalkeeper and beat her with a shot from distance. This was also the final result of the match.
Today, the girls had quite decent support from the fans in the stands. According to official figures, more than 500 of them gathered at ŽAK. The Slovenian women will be in action again on Tuesday when they travel to Skopje for an away game against North Macedonia.
