Ilirija would have secured their place in the youth Eon NextGen league even if they hadn’t defeated Bravo on Friday. Even in that case, they would have had an unassailable lead over Tabor and Nafta, who have already bid farewell to the elite. But of course, winning is always better. And Ilirija won. They were better than their rivals from Šiška with a score of 2-0, with Jan Mušič scoring in the 23rd minute and Jure Novak hitting the mark in the 77th minute.
Ilirija, who surprisingly won the national championship title in the U19 category last year, secured their survival with good form at the end of the season. The Ljubljana team won five out of their last seven matches, which was more than enough to extend their status as a first-league team.
Playing in front of 95 spectators in the city derby, the home team lined up with Dermastija, Škof, Stojinović, Novak, Nikolić, Puc, Hace, Pavlič, Kračun, Korošec, Mušič, and also saw Lukežič, Letić, Bajc, Lepoša, Štricelj in action. Bravo, who suffered defeat after two consecutive wins, opted for Dakić, Jusić, Judež, Midžan, Bajc, Pučnik, Kopatin, Benkič, Stražišar, Stojanoski, Puconja in their lineup. Jančič, Hojč, Raspet, Šabanaj, Lulić also got their chance.
