The winter break concluded in the cadet and junior categories, and among other matches, the Bonifika stadium came to life on Saturday, featuring the clash of old top-league rivals. Koper hosted Olimpija on their home ground, winning both matches in the under-15 and under-17 leagues. Koper scored half a dozen goals (6), and their net shook only once.
In the cadet match, Koper triumphed 3-1, with the league’s top scorer, Arman Durmiši, finding the net twice against the visitors from Ljubljana, who sorely missed the injured Mateo Aćimović. Interestingly, the young Koper striker beat Olimpija’s goalkeeper, Etien Bottonjić, twice from the penalty spot. In between Durmiši’s goals (11th, 51st minute), Tian Mačak (51st minute) also scored for Koper. The only goal for the visitors from the capital was scored by Žiga Pečjak in the 77th minute.
For Olimpija’s cadets, this was a defeat that might sting. If they had won, they would have continued trailing behind the leader Bravo by just one point, but now the city rivals have a four-point lead. Olimpija is currently fourth in the cadet league standings, while Koper occupies the sixth position, trailing Olimpija by eight points.
Koper also emerged victorious in the under-15 league, securing a 3-0 win. Samir Zulić’s squad, a former star of Olimpija, scored all three goals in the second half: Kevin Pahor found the net in the 58th minute, followed by celebrations from Liam Marsetič (73rd) and Anže Grabljevec (80th). Koper is fifth on the junior league table, and Olimpija is eighth.
