In Kidričevo, everything on Friday and Saturday was centered around Maribor. The “Violets” played all three matches there in the categories from 15 to 19 years. As hosts, the U19 team defeated Olimpija 3:0, while the cadets and older boys faced the home team Aluminij as guests. The Maribor team left Kidričevo with a 100% record; in addition to the U19s, the other two younger selections of the most successful Slovenian club of all time also celebrated victories.
Both Saturday matches ended 3:1 in favor of Maribor. In the U15 league match, Maribor took the lead in the 4th minute with a goal from Nikolas Petrović. The score was increased to 2:0 after just over half an hour of play (36′) by Žan Šešerko, and in the second half, Gal Jevšnik (54′) added another goal. In the 75th minute, the home team managed to score a consolation goal through Gašper Jesenko. The Styrian giant achieved their third consecutive win, while Aluminij suffered their third consecutive loss, remaining at the bottom of the table without a single point.
The cadets of the visiting club took the lead in the 35th minute with a goal from Nejc Viher, but just five minutes later, Timi Šmigoc equalized. The guests then needed quite some time to break the resistance of the home team, but finally succeeded in the 72nd minute with a goal from Timon Kikec. In the 91st minute, Luka Zidarič set the final score of the match. After three rounds, the club from Ljudski vrt has 7 points, while Aluminij is still without a point even among the cadets.
