Andres Vombergar is in form! The question is, if he’s in good enough form to earn a spot in Euro 2024, but in any case, April was his month. He scored in three matches, totaling 7 goals in the United Arab Emirates League. He found the net again on Sunday, shaking the net of the second-placed club in the league, Shabab Al Ahli.
The team from Dubai is led by Marko Nikolić, former coach of the Ljubljana-based Olimpija, which includes players like Luka Milivojević. Shabab started the match as the absolute favorite, but Ittihad took the lead. Andres Vombergar scored in the fifth minute, but although the guests held the lead until the end of the first half, it wasn’t enough for success.
Shabab scored twice in the first and fifth minutes of added time in the opening half, then twice again in the second half, ending with a 4-1 win for the home team. Nevertheless, Andres Vombergar, as mentioned, can be satisfied with his current form. After all, he’s the second top scorer of his team and currently ranked 12th in the list of most effective players in the UAE Pro League.
