The youth team of Mura lost their coach again a few days ago, for the second time this year. First, Matjaž Kek Jr. left to join the senior team, followed by Darjan Slavic, who took over at Radomlje. The black-and-white youth team was entrusted to Slovakian coach Marian Sluka. While his official appointment may not have been noted yet, what matters is that the Prekmurje side won their first match under his leadership. In Kidričevo, they defeated Aluminij 4:2, with Niko Kasalo shining for the visitors.
Only 18-year-old Niko Kasalo has already proven himself on the senior stage, but now, with the battle for the championship in the youth Eon NextGen league heating up, he has naturally stepped in to assist the under-19 team. This time, it paid off handsomely for Mura, as Niko Kasalo scored all four goals in Styria! Lan Mesarič put the hosts ahead in the 5th minute, then, in the 28th minute, began a rare shooting spree by the visiting number 7. Niko Kasalo scored four consecutive goals, needing only 31 minutes for them! When the match was already decided, Gal Kosar slightly softened the defeat for the home team in the 85th minute.
Aluminij, currently in 11th place, started the match with Petek, Colnarič, Popović, Simonič, Repina, Škoflek, Mesarič, Škerget, Brumec, Kremberger, and Rahle, with Žerjav, Glodić, Kosar, Čeh, and Vuković also getting a chance to play. Mura, third in the standings with two points behind Maribor and one behind Olimpija, fielded the lineup of Šumenjak, Petrovič, Tomašić, Kasalo, Popijal, Koren, Jelovica, Rantaša, Graj, Turudija, and Anželj, with Ignjič, Sečkar, Fišer, Baš, and Hamulić also seeing action.
