Maribor has been eliminated from the Pivovarna Union Cup! Most people were firmly convinced that the Štajerci would easily make it to the top eight, but it didn’t turn out that way. Radomlje delivered an incredible sensation, advancing with a 2-1 victory with two goals in the final moments of the match.
The first goal of the match was scored by Hillal Soudani, and in the 79th minute, Dejan Vokić, who interestingly honed his skills at Maribor in his younger years, equalized for the guests. The decision about the winner came in the 93rd minute when Caio Da Cruz stepped onto the scene.
The 21-year-old forward from Brazil, playing for Radomlje as a loaned player from HNK Gorica, crafted a rarely seen masterpiece. Admittedly, he didn’t surpass Dare Vršič‘s performance in the national team match against Serbia, but regardless, it is one of the most beautiful and spectacular goals in the current season of Slovenian football. In the 93rd minute, Caio Da Cruz executed a free-kick from the right, at that moment, no one expected him to shoot directly at the goal.
Everyone was convinced that he would deliver a cross into the penalty area, including the home goalkeeper, Menno Bergsen. Whether Caio Da Cruz actually intended to shoot or just deliver a cross is not even important. However, the fact is that the ball soared in an arc toward the goal and “dropped” just in time to find the net. Bergsen was powerless, and Maribor was eliminated.
