Sven Šunta signs a masterpiece in the UEFA Youth Champions League: Slovenia’s teenager scores from a free kick (VIDEO)
Youth Champions League saw a clash on Wednesday between Red Bull from Salzburg and Dinamo from Zagreb, with the victory staying at home. Spectators – about 500 of them – witnessed five goals and a 3:2 win for the hosts. Despite the loss, one of the standout players on the pitch was a Dinamo player who hails from Slovenia – Sven Šunta.
The 17-year-old midfielder, considered one of the most promising players in Dinamo’s youth ranks, started the match and stayed on the field until the 78th minute. His moment of brilliance, which was also one of the match’s finest moments, came in the 39th minute. The club from Mozart’s city was leading 1-0 at the time, and Dinamo equalized with a masterfully executed free kick.
Sven Šunta set the ball slightly to the left side of the field, about 20 meters from the goal. He struck it with exceptional precision: it flew past the defensive wall and into the back of the net, leaving the home team’s goalkeeper helpless. Salzburg then responded with two goals, which were enough for the victory. It’s also worth mentioning that the second goal involved another Slovenian teenager on the field – Kristjan Bendra. The 18-year-old provided his second assist of the season in the UEFA Youth League in his third appearance.
