On Friday, Koper appointed Oliver Bogatinov as the new coach of the senior team, who quickly rolled up his sleeves and also added a new assistant coach to the senior team. This became Igor Božič, which of course means that the youth team was left without a coach, currently in the middle of the table in the Eon NextGen League. On the day of Božič’s move to the senior team, the U19 team from Koper played away in Velenje, where they were led by the head of the football school, Nedžad Okčić. The change didn’t work out well, Koper lost, and Rudar won the match in front of 250 spectators with a score of 2:1.
Koper was actually the one who took the lead in Velenje, in the 57th minute, when the player from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kenan Lamadžema, celebrated his tenth goal of the season. Many were convinced then that the Primorci would return home with a victory, but the home team had different plans. And then came the turnaround, which actually happened in less than two minutes. In the 73rd minute, Tarik Abbas equalized, and in the 75th minute, the guests’ net was also shaken by Kerim Šehović. It is worth adding that Rudar secured the win with one more player, as Luka Žavbi was sent off for the guests in the 45th minute due to a second yellow card.
Rudar, which perhaps achieved one of the key wins in the battle for survival, which is now very close, started the match with Brecl Ojsteršek, Plazl, Šehović, Nahtigal, Krejić, Šeparović, Abbas, Galić Bosnić, Majhen, Križnik, Mijošek, with Štitić, Brajković, Marsel, and Skornšek coming off the bench. Okčič decided on the eleven Štrasberger, J. Pečjak, G. Pečjak, Šavor, Žavbi, Marsetič, Hrvatin, Slak, Sosič, Rizvić, Lamadžema, with Žabkar, Žigart, Aščić Pijaža, Bučić, and Fonda also getting a chance.
Koper is currently eighth in the standings of the youth Eon NextGen league, while Rudar from Velenje, with one more game played and four points less, is in 10th position.
