Roman Pilipčuk sends (almost) the strongest line-up to battle with the third league club, Celje advance 3:0
Celje is the second participant in the quarter-finals of the Pivovarna Union Cup, after the first-place team defeated
Udine
. Even though Celjani were playing against a club from the 3rd SNL, coach Roman Pilipčuk didn’t want to take any chances after two league defeats. He sent almost the strongest line-up to the fight, which in the end achieved an expected and relatively high victory.
Celje celebrated and progressed, but Videm, who had loud support from the stands, sold their skin dearly, regardless of the final result. It ended 3-0 to the hosts, with Denis Popović scoring in the fifth minute. When Lovro Bizjak scored after half an hour of play, many were convinced that the hosts would fill the net. This was not the case, Udine resisted well against the home team. The latter scored a third goal just before the break, in 92. Bizjak scored for the second time in the match.
On Wednesday, Koper – Domžale will also play in the eighth round of the Pivovarna Union Cup final.
Primorje secured the promotion to the second round with a smooth victory over Zavrče.
. It was 6:1 for Ajdovščina, Lun Bončina scored a hat-trick in just 14 minutes.
