The fact is that not many foreigners play in the Slovenian youth championship; however, on Wednesday, a match took place in which the home club celebrated with three goals, two of which were scored by foreign players. Ilan Bach and Antonio Buneta—the first from France and the second from Croatia—led Koper to their third consecutive home victory in the Eon NextGen league. Despite this, Koper remains in the lower part of the table, having fallen there during a really modest start to the new season, but at least they are slowly and steadily awakening.
On Wednesday, Ilirija visited the Coast, and after two victories over Interblock and Krka, they experienced their third consecutive defeat. The match ended 3:1 in favor of the hosts, who took the lead in the 11th minute when Ilan Bach converted a penalty into a goal. Tomas Puc also brought the guests back into the game with a penalty shot; however, the Ljubljana team ended up empty-handed. This was ensured by 18-year-old Antonio Buneta, a winger from Rijeka, who scored the first goal of the match in the 43rd minute and the second in the 91st. Antonio Buneta has scored three goals in the last two matches.
Denis Halilović, Koper’s coach, led his team to victory in front of just 54 spectators with the lineup Žerak, Samed, Apollonio, Strcaj, Bacha, Žigart, Slak, Ljubenović, Buneta, Bečaj, Kmetič, with substitutes Ferk, Tunanović, and Ivanov also coming into play. For Ilirija, the match started with Strmec, G. Pečjak, Kukavica, Matanović, Ristić, Puc, Veber, Lepoša, Nikolić, Pantić, Adrović, with Jelača and Letić also getting their chances.
