Celje has played its 11th consecutive home game without defeat in the youth Eon NextGen league. This time, Gorica visited the princely city, fiercely fighting to stay among the elite; the Novogoričani were on their way to a draw, but in the end, they returned home defeated nonetheless. Celje triumphed 4-1, and each of the three remaining goals by the home team was scored by a player named Luka.
The hosts, chasing the fifth-placed NK Brinje Grosuplje on the table (the latter having a three-point lead), took the lead in the 25th minute when Nikola Ilinčić scored against the visitors from Nova Gorica. The score remained unchanged until the 67th minute when Gorica was awarded a penalty, and Maj Blažič scored his 11th goal of the season from the spot. And then… Then the “Luka Magic” began. In the 74th minute, Luka Perković found the net, followed by Luka Mlakar in the 82nd minute, and Luka Mladenović celebrated in the 84th minute. Enough for a 4-1 victory. And an interesting fact: in Gorica’s goal stood … Luka! Luka Figelj conceded four times, leaving Gorica at the bottom of the Eon NextGen league standings.
The home team started with Kolar, Ilinčić, Kahvedžić, Jevšenak, Kujović, Mačak, Turinek, Džumhur, Rizmal, Čančar, Petrak, and also brought on Bulajić, Perković, Mlakar, Karapandža, and Mladenović. Miloš Rus, the Gorica coach, chose Figelj, Babič, Laščak, Korošec, Šušmelj, Comita, Nalo, Gleščič, Veličkov, Blažič, Chittaro as his starting eleven, with Rožič Šuligoj, Lozej, Mavri, and Lazar joining from the bench.
