The battle could have extended a bit longer, but it was actually just a matter of time before what happened today happened. Celje is the new Slovenian football champion! The king is dead, long live the new king! And present at the crowning of the new king was the former king himself. Olimpija knew that they could spoil the celebration in the princely city with a win, but that was a plan without an innkeeper. 7200 spectators, the record attendance at stadion Z’dežele (this was the record attendance at Celje’s home matches), got their money’s worth.
At least most of them did. Those who rooted for Olimpija returned home crestfallen. But in the city by the Savinja River… There’s no doubt the revelry will last until the early hours. The second title of national champions is in the trophy cabinet. The battle is over. Celje is the best Slovenian club for the year 2024!
The match of the 33rd round of the Slovenian league was decided in the 59th minute when Jegor Prucev transformed into the great hero of the Celje team. The young Russian, who shows immense promise, demonstrated his lavish talent in the best possible way. He received the ball at the edge of the penalty area, positioned it on his right, and then struck it so well that Matevž Vidovšek was completely helpless. The ball flew into the top right corner of Olimpija’s goal, and Celje’s fans were in ecstasy.

The people of Ljubljana then more or less knew that they were in a lost position. Not that they had given up completely, but far from it, Celje was far from trembling until the end. If Admir Bristrić had reacted better in the promising action, it might have ended differently. But in reality, there were no doubts for a moment. Celje calmly and without excessive trouble controlled the proceedings on the pitch.
The dominance of Olimpija, if we can even speak of it, was merely futile. The Dragons were light-years away from a turnaround that would have kept them alive. In fact, Celje was closer to a second goal than Olimpija. Instead of hitting the net, the goal frame shook in the 89th minute, but by then, Celje didn’t care. The battle was won. And concluded. Celje is the national champion for the year 2024!
