On Saturday, the battles continued in the youth Eon NextGen League, including a match between Brinje Grosuplje and Ilirija. The Ljubljana-based team was a significant surprise last season, becoming national champions. This year, things aren’t going as planned as they are at the bottom of the table. Meanwhile, the Grosuplje club has taken the spotlight this season, delivering excellent results and closely trailing the leading trio of Mura, Maribor, and Olimpija.
The Dolenjska region team clashed with Ilirija in front of around 50 spectators and emerged victorious, ending the game 2-1 in favor of Brinje Grosuplje. The hero for the home team was Aleks Stojaković, who already plays a significant role in the senior team of the yellow-blues this season. He once again drew attention in the Eon NextGen League, scoring both goals for Ilirija’s victory.
Aleks Stojaković scored the first goal of the match in the 28th minute and quickly followed up with another in the… 29th minute! Two rapid-fire goals were enough for victory; although Ilirija reduced the gap in the 61st minute through Jure Novak, they couldn’t avoid defeat.
Urban Žohar, the coach of NK Brinje Grosuplje, achieved the milestone of the team’s tenth win of the season with the lineup of Trobec, Lazarević, Islamagić, Ristić, Zrnec, Strnad, Vitamvas, Jurić, Miklič, Stojaković, Piškur, and also featured Močnik, Kušar, Šteharnik, and Handukić. Ilirija lined up Strmec, Stojinović, Štricelj, Škof, Lukežič, Novak, Hace, Bartolj, Videnović, Korošec, Benkič, and only made one substitution, Lepoša, from the bench.
NK Brinje Grosuplje, playing their last home game this year, is currently fourth on the table, trailing leading Mura by four points. Ilirija is second to last but has played one more game and shares the same number of points as the bottom-placed Nafta.
