In Šiška, we witnessed the last derby of this season’s 1st Slovenian Women’s National League. Olimpija clinched it with an exceptionally convincing performance, winning 4-0 against the national champions from Murska Sobota. Likely the standout player in the 1st Slovenian Women’s National League this year was Sara Makovec. She netted three goals past Iva Kocijan and also provided the assist for Olimpija’s fourth goal, completely outplaying Mura in rainy weather.
Sara Makovec in Excellent Form
Olimpija’s footballers started the game decisively and took the lead already in the third minute. Sara Makovec put her name on the scoresheet with a shot from the edge of the penalty area. She didn’t stop there and scored her second goal before the end of the first half. Once again, she fired from distance, and although goalkeeper Iva Kocijan managed to touch the ball, she couldn’t keep it out. In the second half, the Mura players were slightly more dangerous and proactive, but they didn’t create any significant chances. However, Sara Makovec scored her third goal after neatly receiving a through pass in the 80th minute, bypassing Mura’s goalkeeper, and slotting the ball into the empty net.
Makovec was also involved in the fourth goal. This time, she played the role of the assistant, providing the pass for Tara Knego’s goal. Following today’s victory, Olimpija reduced the gap to the leading Mura to eight points. Both teams in the 1st Slovenian Women’s National League have one more game left, and Mura’s footballers will battle for the cup title on May 24th at the Stožice Stadium.
