On Wednesday, in the 156th eternal derby, Olimpija and Maribor faced off in Stožice. The guests celebrated a 2-1 victory, marking their very first win in Ljubljana in over four years. With this loss, Olimpija has “endangered” its second place on the Prva liga Telemach table. The battle for the number 2 position will undoubtedly be intriguing, tense, and exciting until the end of the season. It will be interesting to see how Olimpija responds after the painful defeat, especially considering they scored their milestone goal in eternal derbies.
As revealed by OptaŽabar, the goal scored by Nemanja Motika just a few minutes into the game was the 200th goal for Olimpija in eternal derbies. The former Bayern Munich prospect, who previously played for Red Star Belgrade before joining Olimpija, thus made his mark in the history books of the green and whites. Prior to this, the 150th goal for Olimpija in eternal derbies was scored by Nik Kapun in 2014, while goal number 100 was Alen Škoro‘s work in 2000. Slobodan Dogandžić scored the 50th goal in 1977, and Milan Rojina netted the very first one in 1962.
Additionally, Nemanja Motika also scored the second-fastest goal for Olimpija in home eternal derbies at Stožice. Only Aleksandar Rodić scored a quicker goal, hitting the net after just two minutes in 2014.
