Friday’s action in the youth Eon NextGen league was quite exciting. Olimpija lost again after 17 matches, Koper introduced a new coach in Velenje, and a relegation battle was underway in Šiška. Ilirija, last year’s champion, secured a crucial victory against a direct rival as Tabor fell in Ljubljana.
Ilirija emerged victorious with a score of 2:1, with one of the goals scored by Filip Lukežič, who had also found the net in the senior team’s match in the Pivovarna Union Cup just a day earlier. Besides Lukežič, who equalized in the 26th minute, the young Denis Videnović also scored for the hosts, continuing his excellent form this season. Videnović has scored 5 goals in 7 matches in the youth league and 11 goals in 16 matches in the cadet championship.
Tabor took the lead in Ljubljana, with Noah Fernetti finding the net in the 19th minute. For the Italian player, who joined Sežana from Torino, it was his first goal in Slovenian football.
Ilirija secured the win in front of 100 spectators with Dermastija, Videnović, Dagarin, Lukežič, Novak, Puc, Bartolj, Hace, Pavlič, Kračun, and Mušič in the lineup, with Škof, Letić, Štricelj, Stojnić, and Stojinović coming off the bench. Tabor started the match with Medić, Kalšek, Jakupović, Rupnik, Starc, Pavlović, Vuleta, Mensah, Kompare, Ukmar, and Fernetti. Morelj, Gorec, Brajko, Malkoč, and Plavšič Vajde also played.
The reigning champion climbed to 13th place on the table with the win, surpassing Tabor, who is now second to last. The differences at the bottom of the table are small, with twelfth-placed Krka having just a three-point lead over last-placed Nafta.
