Just before the end of the 2023/24 season in the cadet league, the battle for the title couldn’t be more tense. Leading the pack is Celje, who triumphed in Koper this time, but they only have a two-point lead over their closest pursuer. However, the crucial realization is that Olimpija has one game less. And considering that they will face Gorica, who is at the bottom of the table, in their postponed match next week… But that’s not all: Maribor is just three points behind, the same goes for Bravo, who will play their 24th-round match only on Sunday. If they win in Šenčur, the chaos at the top will be even greater…
Anyway, Olimpija had a good day in the under-17 league on Saturday. The squad, led by coach Matevž Potočnik, celebrated a whopping 7-0 victory against an audience of 95 people in Jamski stadion. The scoring spree started in the 20th minute with Mateo Aćimović, who then scored again in the 39th minute for 3-0. In between, Seadin Tafoski found the net in the 34th minute. The seventeenth goal of the season was scored by Žiga Pečjak in the 61st minute, who shares the top spot on the club’s scoring chart with Aćimović. Tian Varmaz Plava found the net twice in the 66th and 80th minutes, and Svit Hočevar sealed the high victory in the 83rd minute.
The trio of Aćimović-Pečjak-Hočevar presents a challenging puzzle for opponents in attacking plays and is one of Olimpija’s main assets in the battle for the first title since 1999.
Olimpija also defeated Dravograd in the under-15 category with a score of 2-0. The green and whites, who are ninth in the standings, secured three points with goals from Egon Ljubičić (36th minute) and Mark Kovše (73rd minute). Dravograd is second to last in both the cadet and older youth categories.
