On Sunday, members of the Slovenian national team gathered at Brdo pri Kranju (some arrived earlier, while others will come later), as they are facing an away game against Malta this week, followed by a home game against Portugal in a week’s time. Slovenian coach Matjaž Kek has included two players from the Austrian Premier League club Sturm in the squad this time – Jon Gorenc Stanković and Tomi Horvat.
The inclusion of the former Mura player on the coach’s list is not surprising. Tomi Horvat has been in exceptional form this season, as evidenced on Sunday when Sturm visited Klagenfurt, where they defeated Austria in front of 6045 spectators. The visitors from Graz celebrated a 4-0 victory, with all goals scored before the end of the first half.
In the 23rd minute, Tomi Horvat, who has now scored eight goals this season, found the net. The 24-year-old, who played the entire match, also recorded five assists in 34 appearances. Jon Gorenc Stanković wore the captain’s armband and played until the 73rd minute.
With this new victory, Sturm remains in contention for the national title, trailing Red Bull Salzburg by just two points.
