Whether it’s Maribor or Mura. With Maribor having a 5-point lead over the Prekmurci with two rounds remaining in the season, it seems that the battle for the title in the Youth Eon NextGen League is decided… But Olimpija won’t be celebrating for sure. The young dragons visited NK Brinje Grosuplje, lost, and bid farewell to their chances of finishing the season on top. Olimpija trails its big Styrian rival by seven points before the final 180 minutes. Even with a win, Olimpija wouldn’t control its fate, but would at least theoretically remain in the race…
The hosts took the lead in a match watched by more than 100 spectators in the 41st minute when the guest goalkeeper Žan Mauricio was beaten by his teammate Nik Pirečnik, who scored an own goal. The match was more or less decided in the 65th minute when Aleks Ristić also found the net.
The home team, currently in 5th place in the Eon NextGen league standings, secured the victory with Trobec, Tomšič, Lazarević, Zalaznik, Islamagić, Ristić, N. Zrnec, Močnik, Štorman, Miklič, and Stojaković, with Strnad, Jurić, Vitamvas, Kušar, and Šteharnik also coming off the bench. The coach of the guests, Boštjan Miklič, who will sit on the bench of Olimpija’s senior team in the eternal derby against Maribor on Saturday if the club management does not find a new coach before then, decided on the following lineup: Mauricio, Dvoršak, Pirečnik, Uršič, Jelen, Kojić, Petrov, Imeraj, Ivanjko Vidmar, Jakupović, Matanović. Motika, Cedilnik, Kovačević, Aćimović, and Pečjak also entered the game from the bench.
