Damir Čontala has been a very busy person recently. Not only is he the head of the youth academy at Mura, but he also sits on the bench of two teams! He has been coaching the U19 team since the start of the season, and he has recently taken over as the coach of the U17 team after the club management dismissed Mitja Erniša. Despite being overwhelmed with work, he is satisfied with his performance, at least with the U17 team: he has led them twice and won both matches.
On Saturday, Mura’s U17 team faced Krka in Fazanerija, who are last on the table, and won 3-2. In front of 60 spectators, Anej Kerman (30′) and Gal Vršič (41′) gave the home side a 2-0 lead, and just before the break, Jan Fejzić reduced the deficit for the visitors from Novem mesto. In the 52nd minute, Amadej Filipčič restored the black-and-white’s lead, and in the 71st minute, Filip Vrabac sealed the victory. With this win, Mura moved up to sixth place in the U17 league standings.

Much less satisfaction was felt by the Prekmurci in the U15 league, where things are not going according to plan. For this reason, the team got a new coach, but even Dominik Kovačič couldn’t prevent a heavy loss against Krka, who won 3-0. All three goals came in the second half, with Jan Martin Kirn scoring twice (62′, 79′) and Leon Matjašič sealing the high win for the visitors in the 82nd minute.
Krka celebrated their fifth victory of the season and are in eighth place in the standings, while Mura remains with only two wins, sitting in second-to-last place with 11 points. Only their Prekmurje rivals Nafta from Lendava have fewer points (just 3).
