In the youth Eon NextGen league, only one match of the 12th round was played on Sunday, which will conclude with four matches on Monday. In Ljubljana, Ilirija faced Aluminij, and the match was played in front of around 50 spectators, who witnessed a narrow victory for the home team.
Ilirija won the match 1:0 after former Slovenian U17 national team player Matjaž Veber scored the only goal in the 53rd minute, marking his first goal after a long injury layoff last season. Interestingly, Matjaž Veber was in talks with Maribor over the summer, but a transfer did not materialize at that time. He remained in Šiška and celebrated with the captain’s armband for the first time in 14 months! Interestingly, he had also scored against Aluminij back then.
Ilirija celebrated their first win after three consecutive losses, with the three points secured by Strmec, G. Pečjak, Nikolić, Kukavica, Matanović, Puc, Stojanov, Jelača, Veber, Pantić, and Adrović, who started the match, along with Ristić, Lepoša, Letić, and Zorko, who came off the bench. The guests from Kidričevo, who lost for the second time in a row, fielded a lineup including Kramberger, Schaubach, Koren, Mesarič, Boršič Colarnič, Huber, Čeh, Špička, Pučnik, Ž. Kosar, and also had Konate, Repina, and G. Kosar in the squad.
