The four-way battle for the champion, which has already become a three-way battle? That’s how it seems after NK Brinje Grosuplje weakened significantly in recent times and allowed the leading three clubs (Maribor, Olimpija, Mura) in the youth Eon NextGen league to pull away slightly. The Dolenjska team has lost four out of the last five matches and won only once. Even though they defeated Mura during that time, four losses in a good month have taken their toll.
The youth team of the Grosuplje club visited Celje this time, where the Styrians celebrated a significant victory. It ended 4-0 for the club from the princely city, currently sixth in the standings, trailing their opponent by just two points. In front of 50 spectators at the Z’dežele Stadium, the first goal for the home team was scored by Tian Kujović, who found the net in the 20th minute. Celje scored the remaining three goals in the second half, first through Ivan Čančar (67), followed by Lucas Mačak (85) and Hugo Šelih (88).
Celje, on a streak of six games without defeat and three consecutive victories, started the match with Kolar, Ilinčić, Kahvedžić, Jevšenak, Kujović, Mačak, Turinek, Džumhur, Veselaj, Rizmal, Petrak, with Čančar, Karapandža, Bulajić, Šelih, and Perković coming off the bench later. Urban Žohar, the coach of NK Brinje Grosuplje, opted for the starting eleven of J. Zrnec, Kušar, Tomšič, Zalaznik, Islamagić, Ristić, Zrnec, Močnik, Lazarević, Miklič, Strnad. Trobec, Jurić, Piškur, Vitamvas, and Ježovita also played.
In the next round, Celje will visit Ilirija, who is fighting to avoid relegation, while Brinje Grosuplje will play against Gorica, currently second to last in the standings.
