On Sunday, Maribor visited Lendava, where they initially struggled against a resilient Nafta side. However, after an hour of play, the hosts faltered, allowing the Štajerci to take advantage and secure a 3:0 victory. In Prekmurje, three teenagers caught the spotlight for Maribor: Niko Grlić (18) for scoring the opening goal, and Žan Meško (16) and Niko Osterc (17) for making their debuts in the Prva liga Telemach.
While Niko Grlić has established himself in the league this season, showing typical ups and downs for such a young player, Žan Meško and Niko Osterc have recently joined the senior team’s training. They clearly impressed Ante Šimundža, who gave them their first appearances in the league during the 88th minute, when the outcome was already decided. Despite playing only a few minutes, the teenagers will undoubtedly remember the moment forever.
Winger Žan Meško has played six matches in the Eon NextGen League this season and excelled in his recent match in the UEFA Youth League, where he scored two goals and provided an assist in Gibraltar. Meanwhile, attacking midfielder Niko Osterc also played in Gibraltar and has scored once in six matches in the U19 league, where Maribor is currently leading confidently.
