Ilirija has experienced two very different seasons in the Eon NextGen League: last year, they were surprisingly crowned national champions, while this year they struggled nearly until the end to avoid relegation. How the 2024/25 season will turn out remains to be seen, but the second match of the season certainly left a very positive impression. Ilirija hosted Rudar from Velenje in front of 100 spectators and defeated them convincingly with a score of 4:0.

The Ljubljana side took control of the match early, scoring three goals in the first half. The first two goals were scored by the talented Denis Videnović (5th and 32nd minutes), a 16-year-old who has already netted 10 goals in just 14 matches in the U19 league. The third goal was scored by Luka Škof (40th minute) on his milestone 50th appearance in the youth championship. In the second half, Tim Pavlič sealed the emphatic victory for the home side. Ilirija earned their first three points of the season, while Rudar remains at one point.
Ilirija’s lineup for the match was Strmec, Nikolić, Štricelj, Videnović, Adrović, Škof, Kukavica, Puc, Pavlič, Lepoša, Pantić, with Jelača, Letić, Stojanov, Bajc, and Zorko coming off the bench. Rudar played with Camloh, Plazl, Ibrahimović, Svitlica, Abbas, Mladenović, Zorko Kotnik, Stegu, Husejnović, Mijošek, Mežnar, and had Štitić, Skornšek, Pek, Topole, and Kos as substitutes.
