On the artificial turf field in Nova Gorica, a match of the 8th round of the youth Eon NextGen League was played on Monday, where the old rivals and eternal coastal competitors Gorica and Koper faced each other. Both clubs started the new season poorly among the youth teams, so both desperately needed a win. However, neither achieved it, as the match ended in a draw.
Gorica took the lead but did not celebrate for long. In the 24th minute, the goal for the home team was scored by Anej Kobal, but just four minutes later, it was already 1-1. The net of the Nova Gorica club was rattled by Maj Žigart. Despite the earned point, Gorica remained at the bottom of the youth championship standings, while Koper, with two points more, is in 13th place. Together, both clubs have celebrated only three victories this season.
In Gorica’s jersey, the match was started by Pertovt, Korošec, Laščak, Lozej, Humar, Batrićević, Goga, Camerotto, Kobal, Pišot, and Furlan. From the bench, Gleščič, Veličkov, Lazar, and Šturm came into the game. Nedžad Okčić, Koper’s coach, chose the starting eleven: Bonaca, Kmetič, Samed, Strcaj, Bacha, Žigart, Mačak, Slak, Buneta, Ljubenović, and Zalaznik, with Delimehić being the only substitute to get playing time.
