In the Youth Eon NextGen League, only six rounds of the new season have been played, and Maribor already has a five-point lead over the first chaser. Credit for this goes to Fužinar, who managed to achieve something no one else has this season – Korošci defeated Celje. At Ravne na Koroškem, 200 spectators witnessed an excellent performance by the home team and their very first win since breaking into the youth elite.
After a draw in the first half, Fužinar scored twice in the second half. In the 54th minute, Damjan Vukolić celebrated his second goal of the season, and in the 77th minute, Lamar Sulejmanović, a former player for Velenje’s Rudar, sealed the victory for Fužinar, having come on just seven minutes before his goal. Fužinar played a really good match, surprised the favorites, and deservedly won.
The home team, managed by Nino Kučej, started the match with the lineup: Reberšak, Ježovnik, Rožič, Mrkonjić, Naveršnik, Popović, Lesjak, Grizold, Tamše-Marinič, Lakovšek, Vukolić, Turinek. Substitutes included Sulejmanović, Halilović, Podojsteršek, and Potočnik. The guests from the princely city lined up with: Kolar, Kahvedžić, Miklavc, Suhovršnik, Čančar, Dassena Ček, Perković, Kurtović, Cvijetić, Karapandža, Rizmal. Substitutes were Gobec, Vukelić, Dorić, Petrak, and Arlič. Despite the loss, Celje remains in second place, while Fužinar’s victory has moved them up to 12th place.
