We’ve already written about how Tai Žnuderl has been impressing with excellent performances during the 2023/24 season, and the dreamy period of this talented goalkeeper just continues. The barely 17-year-old former member of Maribor is on the verge of a remarkable success with his teammates from Braga – they are already holding one hand on the trophy for the champion title!
In the company of giants like Benfica, Porto, and Lisbon’s Sporting, this is undoubtedly an exceptional achievement, but one that needs to be confirmed – of course. The task won’t be easy, but Braga firmly holds all the cards. Tai Žnuderl and his teammates have a significant lead of 5 points over Benfica with just two rounds left in the season.
Braga could secure the youth title as early as Saturday, when they face Porto away. Porto no longer has a chance for the title, trailing the leading club by a significant 15 points. In the final round, Braga will then play at home against Academico Viseu. It’s worth adding that Tai Žnuderl has contributed significantly to their excellent performances, with Portuguese media already referring to him as the next big Slovenian goalkeeping talent in Portugal after none other than Jan Oblak.
