Not only in the U15 league, on Wednesday, the eternal derby was also played in the national championship for cadets. In Jama behind Bežigrad, around 200 people watched the showdown between Olimpija and Maribor, which is undoubtedly a considerable number for this level of football. In the end, those who were rooting for Olimpija went home happier as they celebrated a 1-0 victory.
The eternal derby was decided in the 43rd minute when none other than Žiga Pečjak stepped onto the scene. The talented footballer is currently Olimpija’s top scorer and the second most effective individual in the entire cadet league. The goal he scored against the great rival from Ljudski vrt was his sixteenth of the season.
With the win, Olimpija remained close behind the city rival Bravo, who leads the U17 league standings after twenty rounds played. However, Bravo has a minimal advantage, with the green-whites trailing by just one point. Fourth-placed Celje is two points behind Bravo, with Maribor in fourth. After this defeat, the Styrians trail the top spot by three points. The battle for the championship will indeed be intense.
