Maribor secured victory in their match of the 25th round of the youth Eon NextGen League already on Friday, meaning that there would definitely be no change at the top of the table. The Purples, with their win, naturally added pressure on their competitors, who couldn’t afford any slip-ups. And they didn’t. Olimpija played a city derby at home against the in-form Bravo this year and defeated them. It was a minimal victory of 1-0, but at this moment, three points are all that matters.
In front of 160 spectators at the Sportni Park Svoboda in Vič, where the playing conditions were far from perfect, the man of the match was none other than Aldin Jakupović. The young Gorenjec, who has a professional contract with the dragons, has been in excellent form lately. The former Jesenice player recently scored four goals against Nafta, and in the last five matches in the Eon NextGen League, he has scored seven goals. He decided the match against Bravo in the 84th minute.
Boštjan Miklič, the coach of Olimpija, who is one point behind the leading Maribor, opted for the starting eleven of Mauricio, Dvoršak, Pirečnik, Uršič, Jelen, Porić, Kojić, Imeraj, Jakupović, Matanović, Cedilnik, with Kovačević, Petrov, and Balon coming off the bench. Bravo, currently ninth, started the match in Vič with Dakić, Jančič, Jusić Judež, Bajc, Pučnik, Kopatin, Stojanoski, Stražišar, Puconja, Šabotić, and Midžan, Drobež, and Lulić getting their chance to play. It’s worth noting that the guests ended the match with one man less, as Andraž Jančič was sent off in the 86th minute.
