Lun Grizold contributed significantly last season (21 appearances, 3 goals) in winning the youth national championship, but then became one of many players to leave Maribor and step into senior football. The 19-year-old attacking player returned to Koroška, but instead of wearing the Dravograd jersey, he joined Fužinar. This season, he’s playing both in the Youth Eon NextGen league and the 3. SNL, and last weekend, he scored his very first senior goal.
Lun Grizold and his teammates from the club based in Ravne na Koroškem faced Starše at home in the 12th round of the 3. SNL East, with an audience of about 100 spectators. Since both third-division teams are in the lower part of the standings, the match was crucial for both the hosts and the visitors. In the end, Fužinar celebrated an emphatic 4:0 victory. The club, which played in the 2. SNL last season, achieved its third win of the season.
Not just Lun Grizold, but also Enej Šarlah
For Fužinar, currently in twelfth place (Starše is one spot higher), goals were scored by Luka Mlakar (28′), Klemen Ofič (50′), and Enej Šarlah (82′), with Lun Grizold finding the net just three minutes before the last goal. This marked the first senior goal for both Šarlah, a former Celje player who joined from Koper in the summer, and Grizold. Interestingly, Lun Grizold scored his first senior goal in the same club jersey in which his father, Boštjan Grizold, scored his last home goal in the 3. SNL.
In 2015, Boštjan Grizold scored against NK Radlje (with an attendance of 500 fans). Now retired, he had a varied career, playing for Olimpija and Mura and recording 156 appearances and 17 goals in the 1. SNL.
