Is the battle for the youth Eon NextGen league title finally decided? Maribor celebrated their seventh consecutive victory on Friday, making it all the sweeter for the purples, as Dejan Dončić’s charges defeated their closest pursuer at Ljudski vrt. Mura lost 0-3, now trailing Maribor by 5 points. With only three rounds left after this one, it speaks volumes about how close Maribor is to clinching the final victory.
Maribor took the lead in the 14th minute when Anej Dukarič beat Mura’s goalkeeper, Vida Šumenjak, with a shot. Tine Čuk took a free-kick from the right side, delivered it in front of the goal, and there, 18-year-old former Aluminij player Anej Dukarič redirected the ball into Mura’s net. The home team celebrated again in the 31st minute when Tine Čuk confidently converted a penalty. The foul was committed by visiting defender Alin Kumer Čelik, a former Maribor player, who handled the ball in the penalty area.
Dončić’s team confirmed their comfortable victory in the 90th minute when the visiting goalkeeper made a big mistake. Although Vida Šumenjak had the ball in his hands, it bounced off him, which was an opportunity for home player Aljaž Vogrinčič. The former member of Beltinci and Mura easily got hold of the ball and kicked it into the empty net of the visitors from Prekmurje. Maribor won 3-0, taking a big step towards the title.
The home team lineup included Tomažič, Kolednik (86′ Mihelič), Poredoš, Kramberger, Lorbek, Silajdžić, Osterc, Grlić, Antič Kurbus (82′ Vogrinčič), Čuk (73′ Katič), Dukarić. For the guests from Murska Sobota, Šumenjak, Popijal (46′ Domjan), Kumer Čelik (83′ Sečkar), Petrovič (65′ Fišer), Turudija, Jelovica, Graj, Baš (65′ Ignjić), Anželj, Koren, Kasalo were on the field.
