In the under-15 and under-17 leagues, Dravograd and Celje faced off on Wednesday. The Štajerska team performed excellently on their visit to Koroška, securing two victories. The cadets won 1:0, while the older juniors scored four goals and achieved victory with a score of 4:2.
Despite playing with one player less for most of the second half, Celje’s cadets managed to secure three points. After just seven minutes into the second half, Gal Napečnik received a red card, but former national team player Boban Jović’s charges still held on to their lead, which they secured in the 50th minute. That’s when Žiga Kranjc scored the only goal of the match, marking his eighth goal of the season. Celje is currently third in the cadet standings, while Dravograd is at the very bottom.
Celje’s older juniors found themselves trailing twice in front of 85 spectators. The home team took the lead as early as the second minute through Taj Veržun. Bogdan Bankovački equalized in the 19th minute, but just five minutes later, the Carinthians regained the lead through a goal by Emrah Šabić. However, Celje orchestrated a comeback and eventual victory through goals by Gašper Korez (43), Uroš Savić (47), and the very lively Dejan Aćimović this spring. The latter has scored four goals in the last three matches. Celje is in eighth place in the under-15 league standings, while Dravograd is twelfth.
