Nafta was crushed at the beginning of the week, with the Prekmurje side receiving 8 goals in their away match in Ljubljana. This marked their seventeenth game without defeat in the Olimpija‘s youth Eon NextGen League. However, it was also the last in this impressive streak. On Friday, the Dragons were back in action, traveling to nearby Domžale and… “surrendering”! The Yellow Family demolished the capital’s rival, ending with a 4-0 victory for the home team. The hero? Denis Nikić! The reason? A hat-trick in an incredible 11 minutes!
In Domžale, where the old rivals clashed in the lower categories, 170 people gathered to witness the action. The first goal came in the 37th minute, as Latvian striker Emils Evelons beat the visiting goalkeeper Žan Mauricio. Then there was a considerable lull on the field until the storm arrived. A storm named Denis Nikić. He scored his first goal in the 72nd minute, the second in the 78th minute, and the third in the 83rd minute. A hat-trick, indeed. In 11 minutes! Unbelievable.
Olimpija, currently at the top with one game more than Maribor, who are two points behind, presented their lineup for the away game with Mauricio, Dvoršak, Motika, Pirečnik, Jelen, Kojić, Kovačević, Petrov, Ivanjko Vidmar, Jakupović, Matanović, while coach Boštjan Miklič later brought on Imeraj, Pečjak, Uršič, Aćimović, and Porić.
Dejan Djuranović, a former Olimpija player, set up Domžale’s lineup as follows: Matičič, Evelons, Bohinc, Marinković, Štefanec, Zabukovnik, Šerbec, Kranjčič, Duranović, Malov, Nikić. Bandur, Guberac, Muminović, and Salešević also got a chance. Domžale are currently fifth in the Eon NextGen youth league standings, trailing Olimpija by nine points.
