Although Ilirija is the current national champion in the under-19 category, this season it belongs among those clubs fighting to remain in the elite in the youth Eon NextGen league. However, the Ljubljana team has awakened, and at a crucial moment of the season. Ilirija has won twice in the last three matches, rising to 13th place on the table, with a 4-point advantage over last-placed Gorica and second-to-last Tabor.
Ilirija faced Celje this time in Šiška in front of 80 spectators and emerged victorious with a score of 2:1. The first goal of the match was scored by Žiga Korošec in the 11th minute, who had a dream weekend, scoring his first goal of the season both for the senior team and the youth team. The visitors from the princely city equalized in the 24th minute, with Lucas Mačak finding the net, but the home team secured a precious victory in the 55th minute through Jure Novak.
Ilirija lined up with Dermastija, Škof, Stojinović, Štricelj, Videnović, Novak, Puc, Bajc, Hace, Korošec, Lepoša, and also gave opportunities to Kračun, Dagarin, Letić, and Pori. The Styrians, who are sixth in the standings, fielded Kolar, Ilinčič, Kahvedžić, Jevšenak, Kujović, Mačak, Perković, Turinek, Veselaj, Rizmal, and Čančar, with Petrak, Šelih, and Bulajić making appearances as well.
