On Friday, the 26th round of the youth Eon NextGen league kicked off, among others, featuring Nafta and Tabor, clubs fighting to stay in the elite. A win would have been crucial for both, but neither the home team nor the visitors achieved it. It ended in a draw, yet the Prekmurje side could be somewhat more satisfied. Nafta, in front of 150 spectators in Velika Polana, narrowly escaped almost at the last minute – it ended 1:1.
The guests from Sežana took the lead in the fifth minute through the talented Mihajlo Pavlović, who already plays for the senior team and has signed a professional contract with Tabor. Tabor held onto the lead until the 81st minute when Jan Rajh secured the equalizer. It’s worth noting that Pavlović was sent off in the 91st minute, adding insult to injury for Tabor, who will have to cope without their top scorer in at least one upcoming match.
Nafta, remaining in 14th place after the draw and maintaining a one-point advantage over second-to-last Tabor (bottom-placed Gorica has the same number of points), fielded the following lineup: Fras, Peulić, Sintič, Jurović, Bacinger, Macanović, Rajh, Čuček Bezjak, Zamuda, M. Plej, Pigac. Substitutions included Kočet, Gonza, Lavrenčič, Vidmar, and Leljak. Jan Košir, Tabor’s coach, sent out the following starting eleven: Žerak, Plavšič Vajde, Rupnik, Vrabec, Pavlović, Ćelić, Mensah, Kompare, Ukmar, Fernatti, Malkoč. Morelj, Starc, Brajko, and Gorec also made appearances.
