Roy Rudonja, the hero of his Italian club: First, an equalizer, then an exceptionally executed penalty for the win (VIDEO)
One of those Slovenes who earn their living playing football in the lower leagues of neighboring Italy is also Roy Rudonja. The son of the legendary former Slovenian international Mladen Rudonja moved to Sicily last year, where he currently represents the colors of ASD Polisportiva Gioiosa. The team advanced to the additional qualifying rounds for promotion from the sixth to the fifth league and, after a real drama, also secured a spot in the grand final. The hero? Roy Rudonja.
The semifinal opponent of the footballer from Koper and his teammates was ASD Parmonval, who took the lead but couldn’t hold on to it. The 29-year-old Roy Rudonja ensured the equalizer and extra time with a well-placed shot.
Former Slovenian youth international then took responsibility for the penalty kicks as well, and he did his job splendidly. From the penalty spot, he sent the ball with a powerful strike into the top left corner of the opponent’s goal. It was Roy Rudonja who converted the decisive penalty kick to advance to the final, where his club will face Citta di Avoli.
