His father, who is a living legend of Maribor, has scored a tremendous amount of goals throughout his career. Enough to be the all-time leading scorer of the purple team. If Marcos Tavares Junior ever wants to match or surpass his father, he will have to score goals consistently. But everyone has to start somewhere. And Marcos Tavares Junior started in the 2nd SNL, where he celebrated his very first league goal in senior football on Saturday.
The 19-year-old, who moved to Bistrica on loan from Maribor during the winter transfer window, was the hero for them away at Fužinar. The match in Ravne na Koroškem ended in a 1-1 draw, with the home side’s 19-year-old Nigerian forward Divine Igwe Ikenna scoring in the 5th minute. Tavares Junior secured the draw with a goal seven minutes before the end of the match. As mentioned, this was Tavares’ first league goal in his senior career, although he had previously scored in a cup competition as a Maribor player.
The draw doesn’t suit either Fužinar or Bistrica. The latter was chasing a win to further involve themselves in the battle for promotion to the Prva liga Telemach, while the Korošci find themselves in troubled waters at the bottom of the 2nd SNL table. Currently, they are in 13th place, with only a five-point lead over a resurgent Tabor.
