Koper scored 6, Radomlje netted 14, and Mura was also in a goal-scoring mood during the cup opener of the 2024/25 season. The black-and-whites from Murska Sobota traveled to Veržej, where they scored nine goals in front of 350 spectators and, with a convincing 9-0 victory, advanced to the next round of the competition, which was won by Rogaška last year.
In the Murska Sobota team’s lineup, Nikola Jovićević shone brightly, scoring four times. Notably, only 13 minutes of play passed between his first and last goal! The 20-year-old began his scoring spree in the 35th minute, continuing in the 46th, 47th, and 48th minutes. For his hat-trick, he needed just three minutes, likely earning a spot in the Slovenian football record books…
The first goal for Mura was scored by Mark Strajnar in the 3rd minute, with Srđan Spiridonović scoring twice (42, 59). In the 71st minute, 18-year-old Nal Lan Koren, the elder son of Robert Koren, celebrated a goal on his senior debut, and in the 76th minute, Gal Kurež capped off the goal-scoring spree.
As an interesting note, Hunter Olson, a footballer from the United States, made his debut for Mura. He was officially registered as the latest addition to the black-and-whites from Michigan, a club owned by the club’s business partner Georg Juncaj. Before him, Colin Stripling also arrived from Michigan, though he has yet to make his debut.
