The last match of the 26th round of the Youth Eon NextGen League was played in Murska Sobota, where the main field at the Fazanerija Stadium saw the contenders for the title face off in front of the TV cameras. Mura hosted Olimpija, with both clubs in desperate need of a win in the battle for the top spot. Despite taking the lead, the Ljubljana side ended up losing. Mura, after finding themselves trailing, responded with three goals and celebrated a priceless 3-1 victory. With this win, Mura surpassed Olimpija on the table, now sitting in second place. The Prekmurje side trails Maribor, the leader, by two points, while the Dragons, in third place, remain four points behind their Styrian rivals.
Olimpija took the lead in the 62nd minute when Oskar Ivanjko Vidmar found himself completely unmarked on the far post from a cross from the left. The Zmajevi member timed his move perfectly and skillfully placed the ball into the net for his first goal of the season, putting Olimpija in the lead. Mura equalized in the 74th minute when the crossbar shook from a shot by the Ljubljana club, and Bine Anželj put away the rebound behind Žan Mauricio. The hosts took the lead in the 89th minute when Niko Graj rose highest from a corner kick in front of the goal and scored to make it 2-1. Niko Kasalo delivered the corner, and then converted a penalty in the 91st minute.
