On a rainy Saturday, the field at the Športni park Jama behind Bežigrad in Ljubljana came to life, where Olimpija faced off against Mura twice. The matches were played in the U15 and U17 leagues, and the young Dragons returned home significantly more satisfied, winning both matches and ensuring that the Prekmurje team left the capital empty-handed.
In the U15 league, Olimpija reaffirmed its excellent form this season, defeating Mura 3-0. In front of 80 spectators, Sven Hočevar scored the first goal of the match in the seventh minute, followed by Ishak Gazibara, who converted a penalty in the 14th minute to double the home team’s lead. Emin Mešanović sealed the final score in the 77th minute. Olimpija recorded its fifth victory in seven matches this season, while Mura suffered its third defeat.
The match in the U17 league was more evenly matched, with Mura taking the lead in the 65th minute thanks to a goal from Anej Kerman. Mura “smelled” victory, but Olimpija, under the guidance of new coach Armin Alibegović, quickly turned the tide in just two minutes. Aljaž Baltič equalized in the 71st minute, and in the 73rd minute, Tian Varmaz Plava, a cadet national team player who recently scored against Croatia in a friendly match, secured the win.
Despite the defeat, Mura remains ahead of Olimpija in the standings, holding just one point more. It’s also worth noting that the Ljubljana team, the current cadet champions, has played one match less.
