Doubts about who will be relegated from the U-15 and U-17 leagues are no more. This is determined, of course, by the combined standings of both competitions, where Dravograd and Gorica are the worst placed. Both teams still have four games left in the season, but regardless, they cannot catch up with or surpass the clubs ahead of them. Gorica, which has been considered one of the best clubs for youth development for years, is thus moving to a lower level of competition after only 5 wins in 48 matches.
The fact that the young roses remained undefeated in both matches against NK Brinje Grosuplje on Saturday was therefore somewhat inconsequential. Well, a win is always better than a loss, and this time it was achieved by Gorica U15, who defeated the Dolenjci in front of 50 spectators with a score of 1:0. The only goal of the match was scored by Nikolaj Iacono in the 58th minute.
In the U-17 league, the two teams parted ways with a 2:2 draw in front of 100 spectators, after all goals were scored in the second half. The guests took the lead through Nik Belovič (51), then Žan Orel (62) from the penalty spot and Nal Lazar (73) turned the game around. Ajdin Sadiković equalized from the penalty spot in the 86th minute to share the points.
