In the Under-15 league, the young players of Maribor already celebrated the title on Saturday, while in the cadet championship, the battle for the trophy is much more intense. Currently, four clubs are in contention for the final victory, with Celje leading the pack, showing resilience under pressure once again. The young Celje players visited Koper, where 110 spectators watched the match at Bonifika. They witnessed the guests’ triumph with a score of 2:0.
Interestingly, it’s worth noting that Koper, on their home turf, defeated two former members… of Koper! The first goal of the encounter was scored by Kenan Kurtović in the 30th minute, successfully converting a penalty. The guests’ victory was sealed by Marko Cvijetić, who found the net in the 64th minute. Celje, as mentioned, remains at the top of the Under-17 league table, but with two matches left in the season, their fate is not entirely in their hands. They hold only a two-point lead over Olimpija, with the Dragons having played one game less… In short, the battle for the cadet champion title will be intense!
Celje also emerged victorious against Koper in the Under-15 league, ending with a 3:2 scoreline in favor of the Styrians. They took the lead in the 8th minute with a goal from Tian Čaušević, who also celebrated in the 79th minute with the winning goal. In between, the home player Daniel Gajić scored an own goal in the 11th minute, while Marko Ivanov scored both goals for Koper in the 38th and 55th minutes. Koper ranks fifth in the Under-15 league table, while Celje sits in sixth place.
