In the 23rd round of the youth Eon NextGen League on Monday, Olimpija and Nafta faced each other, with the young Ljubljana team securing another highly important victory in the battle for the national title. And a significant victory, if we may add. Nafta was quite helpless on their visit to the capital, returning home thoroughly beaten, largely thanks to the talented local forward Aldin Jakupović.
Only 17 years old, the forward from Gorenjska, who has already played a handful of games for Olimpija’s senior team, was a nightmare for the guests from Lendava and an unsolvable puzzle for the Nafta defense. Aldin Jakupović was involved in all eight goals for Olimpija, who ultimately celebrated an incredible victory of 8-2. The teenager found the net four times and also provided three assists.
In addition to Jakupović (who was recently featured in our segment Young Hopes, and you can read the interview at this link), the scorers for Olimpija included Marcel Petrov (2), cadet Mateo Aćimović, and Nikola Motika. Even in Aćimović’s goal, the great hero of the match had a hand, as the son of a Slovenian legend pushed the ball into the net after Jakupović’s shot and the intervention of the visiting goalkeeper. For the 16-year-old Aćimović, this was his first goal in the youth Eon NextGen League.
With the victory, Olimpija maintained the top spot in the youth Eon NextGen League standings, still two points ahead of their eternal rival Maribor, who proved too strong for Rudar from Velenje on Monday.
Olimpija started the match with Mauricio, Dvoršak, Motika, Pirečnik, Jelen, Kojić, Kovačević, Imeraj, Ivanjko Vidmar, Jakupović, Matanović, and later in Jama in front of 100 spectators, Petrov, Palić, Porić, Aćimpvić, and Cedilnik also joined the game. The Prekmurje team opted for Fras, Sintič, Jurović, Bacinger, Rajh, Čuček Bezjak, Zamuda, M. Plej, Horvat, Pigac, Bukovec. Kočet, Lavrenčič, Petrinović, Leljak, and Macanović also played in Ljubljana.
