Perhaps even the youngest Slovenian debutant in Croatia? Slaven lost to Osijek, at the end of the match Tomaž Brdik also came onto the field
When Olimpija and Slaven Belupo faced off in a friendly match during the international break, Tomaž Brdik spent half an hour in the jersey of the club from Koprivnica, which won the match 1-0. At that time, we wrote that the moment was not far away when the talented 17-year-old from Slovenia would also make his debut in the 1. HNL. On Friday, that moment happened – Tomaž Brdik became one of the youngest, if not the youngest, Slovenian to play in the first Croatian league.
Slaven hosted Osijek in Koprivnica and lost 0-1. The man of the match was Ramon Mierez, who secured the victory for the visitors with a goal in the sixth minute. Tomaž Brdik started the match on the bench, and coach Roy Ferenčina sent him into the game in the 90th minute, replacing Benedik Mioč, a former member of Krško and Mura.
Although the game ended shortly afterward, a debut on the senior stage is still a debut. And achieving it abroad at the age of just 17 is undoubtedly evidence that you are doing something right…
