The final match of the 7th round of the Eon NextGen league took place at Bonifika, where Koper faced off against NK Brinje Grosuplje. The game, attended by 80 spectators, saw no goals until the final minutes when Koper scored twice, securing a 2-0 victory and marking their second win of the season, moving them off the bottom of the table.
Before the match, Dolenjci were favored to win, having seen Koper lose five out of their previous six matches. However, the coastal team displayed greater resilience and focus this time. As it appeared the match would end in a draw, Koper clinched victory in the 86th minute when Aldin Delimehić, a former player of the Croatian club Istra, scored just five minutes after coming on as a substitute, marking his first goal in Slovenia. Only three minutes later, Koper was awarded a penalty, which was successfully converted by Ilan Bacha, a 19-year-old player from France.
Koper’s starting lineup featured Bonaca, Samed, Zalaznik, Strcaj, Bacha, Žigart, Ljubenović, Kmetič, Slak, Buneta, and Mačak, with Delimehić and Lončar also coming on as substitutes. Urban Žohar, the coach of NK Brinje Grosuplje, deployed Zrnec, Kušar, Vitamvas, Jurić, Tomšič, Ježovita, Plavec Marković, Lazarević, Zajc, Zelenko, and Gradišić, with Čibej, Krstić, Plavčak, and Šteharnik also getting playing time.
