Maribor advanced in the Pokal Pivovarna Union on Wednesday after defeating the local fourth-tier team Marjeta na Dravskem polju with a score of 4:0. The young Žan Meško also caught attention against Marjeta, as he did not shy away from the opportunity despite being only 16 years old. Moreover, he made the most of it, registering two assists in the statistics.
The talented winger did not hide his satisfaction after the match. “I didn’t expect to start the match; I was happy when I heard that I would be on the field from the first minute. When I get the chance, my goal is to help the team and justify the coach’s trust. I enjoy assisting, and I am especially glad that I could contribute to the victory in this way,” said Žan Meško for the club’s website.
The promising teenager, who is a product of the club’s academy in Ljudski vrt, added regarding the cup advancement: “This is a really nice, special feeling. I wanted to play the first few balls without taking too much risk, ‘from the first touch,’ and then I gradually relaxed. The coach told us to respect the opponents, play for the badge, and give our all on the field, regardless of which league the opposing team plays in. We succeeded in this; we had possession, scored four times, and achieved what we wanted.“
