On Monday, in the 33rd round of the Slovenian championship, Mura and Aluminij faced each other. The home team celebrated with 1000 spectators with a 3:1 victory, catching up with Bravo and Koper, who are fighting for fourth place on the table. The victory of the home team was sealed with a goal in the 93rd minute by the young Niko Kasalo, who has been in good form lately. He has impressed mainly on the youth stage, but also among the seniors he has once again confirmed that there is great talent in his feet. However, despite Mura’s victory over Aluminij this time, Niko Kasalo admitted after the match that the current season was also personally full of disappointments for him.
“It’s difficult for me too, as I’ve been with the club for 13 or 14 years. It’s tough because I wanted to become the cup champion with Mura, but it didn’t work out for us, not even with the youth team, unfortunately we lost to Maribor. We keep fighting, looking forward to the next season, and hoping that the next season will be better,” said the only 18-year-old Niko Kasalo after the match against Robert Pevnik’s squad to Sobotainfo.
The footballer, who despite his youth has already played 28 matches and scored 3 goals in the Prva liga Telekom Slovenije, added about his goal this time, which he accompanied with an assist by Amadej Maroša: “It’s the best feeling when you enter the game and help the team with a goal and an assist. It’s not easy to come into the game in the middle, which is ‘so-so.’ I’m glad I managed to score a goal and provide an assist. It’s additional motivation for hard work, and I hope there will be more of it, both in this and in the next season.“
