Although in his fiery baptism in the Prva liga Telemach match against NK Maribor he conceded seven goals, Lan Jovanović, the only 17-year-old goalkeeper of Aluminij, was the standout player for the visiting team in today’s visit to Ljudski vrt. And that says it all about how poorly Aluminij played… They experienced a real calvary under Kalvarija and returned home with a heavy defeat. Maribor scored four goals in the first half, dispelling any doubts about the winner. The Purple, aided by Gašper Jovan‘s early red card, made the most of Olimpija’s Saturday slip-up. Maribor is now only six points behind the Dragons.
Maribor’s Arnel Jakupović celebrated a hat-trick, also contributing with an assist. Veteran Hillal Soudani found the net twice, and former Slovenian international Josip Iličić, who successfully converted a penalty at 0:0, also scored. The final goal of the match was scored by 18-year-old Tine Čuk.
Maribor started the game aggressively, spending almost the entire opening minutes in front of Aluminij’s goal. The defense of Aluminij collapsed in the 7th minute when Soudani capitalized on a deep pass. Jovan fouled him, earning a red card, and Maribor was rewarded with a penalty. Josip Iličić successfully converted it.
In the 24th minute, Aluminij’s net shook for the second time, with Iličić again involved, this time as an assistant to Jakupović’s goal. Just eight minutes later, the score was already 3:0. Jakupović scored again, assisted by Blaž Vrhovec. However, that wasn’t the end of the first half. Soudani added the finishing touch to an outstanding first half by capitalizing on a beautiful delivery from Marko Strajnar and skillfully getting past Luka Koblar, then beating the young Jovanović.
Maribor did not let up in the second half, and they were rewarded in the 68th minute. Soudani scored for the second time in the match. Jakupović confirmed his hat-trick with a goal in the 80th minute, shooting from the edge of the penalty area and climbing to the top of the goal scorers’ list, where Rui Pedro reigns, who is no longer a member of Olimpija. In the final moments of the game, 18-year-old Tine Čuk scored his first goal in senior competition with a goal in the 88th minute. He took advantage of a beautiful deep pass from Blaž Vrhovec, putting the icing on the cake of an exceptional evening at Ljudski vrt.
