How many Slovenians abroad will be able to boast a national championship title this season? Honestly: not many. Kenan Bajrić celebrated with Slovan in Slovakia, Vid Belec with APOEL in Cyprus. Is there anyone else? Well, Tai Žnuderl is also celebrating in Portugal! Although not in the senior category, the success is still resonating. Braga took the final step in a dream season, where they defeated giants Benfica, Porto, and Sporting in the U19 league, and on Saturday, they dispelled any doubts about who would be the first to cross the finish line.
Tai Žnuderl, who is only 17 years old, played away at Porto two rounds before the end of the season. Spectators saw as many as 6 goals, ending in a 3-3 draw. But for Braga, this was enough, as Benfica also failed to win. The difference between the clubs remains 5 points one round before the end of the season, and Tai Žnuderl and his teammates are already youth champions of Portugal!
Braga won the U19 championship title for only the third time in its history: the first time was in 1977, and the second time 10 years ago. A significant contribution to Braga’s success was made by a former member of Maribor, who played 32 matches this season and was one of the best individuals on his team.
