In the 19th round of the Under-19 Eon NextGen League, old rivals Olimpija and Koper faced each other at Jama behind Bežigrad. Around 180 spectators watched the match, which saw four goals. Each team scored two, ending in a 2-2 draw.
Olimpija took the lead twice but still ended up without a victory. Goals for the Dragons were scored by Dino Kojić in the 25th minute and Edmond Imeraj three minutes into the second half. For Koper, Kenan Lamadžema found the net in the 40th minute, and Luka Žavbi secured a point for the Primorje side in the 54th minute.
It’s worth noting that Nikola Motika, the younger brother of the star of the senior team, Nemanja Motika, made his debut for Olimpija. However, he quickly made it a memorable one by receiving a red card in the 58th minute.
Under the guidance of Boštjan Miklič, Olimpija started the match with Mauricio, Dvoršak, Motika, Pirečnik Jelen, Kojić, Kovačević, Petrov, Ivanjko Vidmar, Jakupović, Matanovič. Substitutes included Imeraj, Porić, Palić, and Ž. Pečjak. Igor Božič, Koper’s coach, opted for the lineup of Štrasberger, J. Pečjak, Fonda, G. Pečjak Šavor, Žavbi, Žabkar, Lamadžema, Aščić Pijaža, Tunanović, Rizvić, with Žigart, Slak, and Bučić as substitutes in the later stages of the game.
With the earned point, Ljubljančani surpassed the previously leading Mura on the league table. They now have 39 points, and Brinje Grosuplje also has the same tally. Koper is seventh in the Eon NextGen league standings.
