The congestion at the top of the Youth Eon NextGen table could hardly be greater, and it seems that clubs will continue to compete in the new year to see who can seize the opportunities presented. After the leading Mura surprisingly lost to Bravo at home on Friday, Maribor could have surpassed them on Saturday by defeating Celje. However, it did not happen.
The match at Ljudski vrt, watched by around 50 spectators, ended in a 1:1 draw. The home team took the lead in the 32nd minute when Mark Kramberger scored on his debut in the youth league. The guests, featuring Nigerian striker Ibrahim Beji Muhammad (who participated in last year’s U20 World Cup), secured a point in the 44th minute when Lovro Turinek found the net.
The home team, coached by Dejan Dončić, started the game with Tomažič, Poredoš, Kramberger, Silajdžić, Grizold, Kolednik, Antič Kurbus, Mihelič, Dukarić, Bakšič, Grlić. Later, Ristić, Katič, and Namestnik also joined the game. Celje’s coach, Spasoje Bulajić, chose the initial lineup with Kolar, Kahvedžić, Jevšenak, Mačak, Turinek, Džumhur, Karapandža, Veselaj, Rizmal, Čančar, Muhammad. Substitutes Perković, Petrak, Šelih, and Bulajić later entered the field.
