Maribor is the new national champion in the under-15 competition! The older boys of the Styrian giant convincingly defeated Gorica (4:0) on Saturday, securing a well-deserved title that no one can take away from them, considering their performance throughout this season. Maribor has an unreachable lead over Domžale, and after the match with Novogoričani, the Maribor players also remembered their coach Milan Žurman, who passed away a few days ago. He led them during this season until his illness became too severe. “Coach Migo, thank you for everything!” the older boys of Maribor had written on their shirts after the decisive match.
“The celebration also had additional emotional significance: in honor of the late coach Milan Žurman, who last led the team on March 13 and laid the foundations for the championship mosaic, his entire family attended the match. The purple hopes were led to the realization of the goal by his former assistant, Vito Gorza,” wrote the club from Ljudski vrta on their official Facebook profile.
In Saturday’s match against the guests from Primorska, the goals for the home team were scored by Gaj Polanec and Tjaš Ornik, while the other two goals were own goals by the visiting players Mattie Surrian and Ajnur Halilković. It’s worth noting that the purple youth team has won the under-15 league for the second time in a row, and in the last six seasons, they have been the best team four times.
