In the 22nd round of the youth Eon NextGen league, two clubs clashed in Ljubljana that provided an exciting battle for the championship title last year. Surprisingly, it was Ilirija who emerged victorious, but this year they are just a shadow of the championship team from the previous season. The Ljubljana side is even second to last in the standings, while Maribor finds itself where it was last year: at the top. The young Purples trail only two points behind the first-placed Olimpija, and they secured another victory this time against Ilirija, scoring half a dozen goals on their turf.
Maribor won the clash in the capital, which saw eight goals, with a score of 6:2, effectively sealing the game in their favor within the opening half-hour. Riad Silajdžić found the net twice in the 10th and 19th minutes, while Žan Antič Kurbus added a third in the 23rd minute. The first half also saw a goal from Niko Grlić (33). The second half started with a goal from Tine Čuk in the 46th minute, and former Ilirija player Patrik Katič concluded Maribor’s scoring drills in the 65th minute. Filip Lukežič scored both goals for the home team (62, 71).
The home team, watched by 70 spectators, started the match with Dermastija, Pori, Škof, Stojinović, Štricelj, Novak, Lukežič, Kračun, Korošec, Hace, Mušič, with Strmec, Bajc, Puc, Pavlič, and Dagarin coming off the bench. Maribor’s coach, Dejan Dončić, sent out Dorošenko, Poredoš, Silajdžić, Kramberger, Katič, Grizold, Kolednik, Antič Kurbus, Mikluš Senekovič, Vogrinčič, Grlić as starters, with Lorber, Mihelič, Čuk, Bilać, and the young cadet Jaka Premrl, who made his debut in the youth Eon NextGen league, coming off the bench.
