In the Youth Eon NextGen League, only two points separate the top four teams, and the bottom is even more tense, with the eleventh-placed Aluminij having only a five-point lead over the last-placed team. At the bottom is still Nafta, which scored an extremely important victory in the battle for survival among the elite on Monday. They defeated Gorica 2-1 in Lendava, who is also fighting for survival.
Nafta took the lead in the 3rd minute when Gorica scored an own goal – Anej Gluščič was credited with the own goal. Just nine minutes later, the Prekmurje team celebrated again as Anej Horvat doubled the lead with a penalty. Gorica also scored with a penalty, but the tenth goal of the season from Maja Blažič, who also received a red card in the 95th minute, was not enough. Despite this, Nafta secured their fifth win of the season.
With this success, Nafta has equaled in points with Ilirija and Krka, and is now only one point behind their opponents.
