Season 2023/24 is slowly but steadily nearing its end. This is true in the Prva liga Telemach as well, where Celje could soon celebrate the title, and the same goes for the youth Eon NextGen league, where a scenario exists where the trophy could head to Styria. But not to the princely city, but to the capital Maribor. The purple youth team currently leads the under-19 league standings and is unlikely to relinquish the lead even after the matches of the 26th round.
Maribor visited Ljubljana on Friday, where they faced a spirited Bravo team. However, the Šiškarji were not a match for the youngsters from Ljudski vrt, who have been in exceptional form lately. Maribor, despite missing a penalty (saved by home goalkeeper Luka Dakić), secured their sixth consecutive victory, remaining unbeaten in the Eon NextGen league for a long 11 games.
Around 150 spectators witnessed Maribor’s 2:1 victory in Šiška. The visitors took the lead in the 25th minute when Tine Čuk found the net, and just five minutes later, Niko Grlić doubled the lead. The home side pulled one back through Vid Hojč in the 79th minute, a former NK Brinje Grosuplje player making his debut for Bravo with a goal, but the Ljubljana team ran out of time to salvage more than just a consolation goal.
Bravo, currently ninth in the youth league standings, started the match with Dakić, Jusić, Judež, Midžan, Bajc, Pučnik, Drobež, Stojanoski, Benkič, Puconja, Šabotić, and coach Tomaž Petrovič introduced Ceferin, Lulić, Hojč, and Raspeta later on. The visitors fielded Tomažič, Hunjet, Poredoš, Silajdžić, Čuk, Osterc, Katič, Kolednik, Dukarić, Lorbek, Grlić at the start, and coach Dejan Dončić gave Kurbus Antič and Ristić a chance to prove themselves. The latter was then sent off in the 94th minute, and the same fate befell home player David Stojanoski.
