It would be hard to claim that he was at fault for any of the four goals that Radomlje conceded during their away game in Celje. More or less, the goals were a result of either defensive errors or the quality possessed by the Slovenian champions. And although it is never pleasant to concede four goals, Jakob Kobal can still be proud: at just eighteen, he became the next teenager to make his debut in the Prva liga Telemach.
Jakob Kobal stepped into the goalkeeper’s position for the “millers” in the City of Princes rather unexpectedly. The youngster, born in 2006, is not the first choice of coach Darjan Slavic, but the latter had little other choice. Captain Emil Velić was injured and not fit for the match at the Z’dežele Stadium, leaving Jakob Kobal as the only available option for Slavic.
Interestingly, the former member of Ljubljana’s Ilirija made his debut in both the Prva liga Telemach and senior football against his former club. Jakob Kobal signed for Celje in 2021 and stayed in the city by the Savinja River until the beginning of this year. In January, he signed with Radomlje, initially playing for them in the Eon NextGen Youth League (10 appearances), and now making his debut in senior football.
