Mirjam Kastelec decided the direct clash for third place at the end of the autumn phase of the championship. The players of Ljubljana celebrated a 2:0 victory away at Radomlje, heading into the well-deserved break as the third team in 1.SŽNL Triglav.
Experienced Mirjam Kastelec decided the local derby
The young Radomlje team, once again led by Matej Rožič Mavrič after a few weeks of medical leave, started the match boldly against the more experienced players from Ljubljana. The Yellow team had more of the game in the opening minutes, with Ula Omerzu threatening with a cross in the 13th minute, but the opponents cleared the ball for a corner. In the 20th minute, Nika Pintarič forced a good save from Živa Galjot, while on the other side, Špela Gerbec made an attempt.
Ljubljana took the lead in the 21st minute when the ball deflected (un)luckily off Katja Turk, and Mirjam Kastelec precisely aimed from the edge of the penalty area after dribbling. Radomlje responded in the 25th minute, but Ula Omerzu’s long-range shot went over the bar. Later in the first half, Katja Turk and Mirjam Kastelec made attempts for Ljubljana. Two minutes before halftime, things heated up in front of Ljubljana’s goal after a cross from Sara Medić, but the visitors managed to clear.
Radomlje entered the second half aiming for an equalizer, but their task became harder in the 52nd minute due to a red card. Jona Javorič received a second yellow card after a duel with Katja Turk and had to leave the pitch prematurely. Ljubljana capitalized on their numerical advantage in the 58th minute when Mirjam Kastelec found herself in a good position in the penalty area and extended the lead for the Blues. Despite being a player down, the Yellow Hearts sought a goal to close the gap, but Ljubljana successfully repelled all the home team’s attempts.
“Ljubljana has a quality squad, led by Mirjam, who scored twice. You cannot give her any space, and we handled that well in the first half, but she scored from her first clear opportunity when she got into position with a clean ball. I think we competed well in the first half and were well-organized, matching Ljubljana with a very young lineup. I must highlight the four sixteen-year-olds we had in the team. They played very well, and we can be pleased in that regard. However, we cannot be satisfied with the result, as we wanted more, aim for more, and that will continue in the future,” said Matej Rožič Mavrič after the last autumn test.
