This week, we reported that Svit Hočevar has impressed Victor Sanchez, the coach of the senior team at Olimpija, with his outstanding performances this season. The Spanish coach invited the 15-year-old player to train with the first team for the first time, which seems to have given the talented teenager an extra boost. On Friday, Svit Hočevar again made headlines in the U19 Eon NextGen league, where he boasts impressive stats: 5 matches, 3 goals.
Hočevar was the decisive player in the opening match of the 7th round of the U19 championship. In the matchup between Celje and Olimpija, two rivals from the top of the standings, the game ended in a draw before 80 spectators. Celje took the lead in the 23rd minute when Haris Kahvedžić converted a penalty and seemed on course for victory for a long time. However, Svit Hočevar had the last word, coming on in the 56th minute and scoring in the 80th minute to make it 1:1.
Celje, currently in second place with a game in hand and 4 points behind Maribor, started the match with the following lineup: Kolar, Vukelić, Kahvedžić, Miklavc, Suhovršnik, Čančar, Dassena Ček, Perković, Kurtović, Cvijetić, and Rizmal. Substitutes included Karapandža, Gobec, Dževahirić, Petrak, and Krajnc. The Dragons, who are fourth with two points less than their opponents, fielded Trivunčević, Oblak, Pirečnik, Imeraj, Pečjak, Pauković, Rizvić, Kovačević, Komić, Pramenković, and Cedilnik, with Varmaz Plava, Hočevar, Bobanović, and Petrov also getting playing time.
