In the youth Eon NextGen league, the opening match of the 6th round was played on Friday. Rudar hosted Maribor in Velenje in front of 80 spectators. The young miners once again proved that they are in good form this season as they put up a strong fight against the leading team in the competition, but in the end, they had to concede defeat. The match ended 1-0 in favor of Maribor, with the hero being Denis Videnović on his debut.
The 16-year-old Denis Videnović is among the most promising footballers in Slovenia. Maribor hit the jackpot by bringing him and Nik Belović (NK Brinje Grosuplje) to Ljudski vrt recently, and the former Ilirija member proved his worth on his first game in purple. Denis Videnović secured the victory for his new club in the 61st minute by scoring the only goal of the match. This was enough to keep Maribor 100% perfect, with the young Štajerci winning all six of their matches.
Regarding Denis Videnović, who has signed a professional contract with Maribor, his talent is also reflected in the statistics. Despite being only 16 years old, he has already scored 12 goals in 17 matches at the youth level!
Rudar, who has seven points after six matches and is currently in seventh place in the Eon NextGen league standings, started the match with the lineup: Brecl Ojsteršek, Plazl, Štitić, Svitlica, Abbas, Rašić, Memaj, Stegu, Zorko Kotnik, Mijošek, Mežnar, with substitutes Mladenović, Husejnović, and Pek. On Maribor’s bench in the mining town, Radoslav Karanović made his debut, replacing Dejan Dončić. The coach, who was recently also a senior champion with Maribor, chose the starting eleven: Antonič, Lorbek, Rasheed, Žavbi, Podlesnik, Meško, Mikluš Senekovič, Roze, Sinković, Videnović. Later, Osterc, Belović, and Rožič Šuligoj also played.
