Maribor has made good use of Olimpija’s unexpected slip-up, which suffered a heavy defeat in Domžale in this round of the youth Eon NextGen league. Meanwhile, the purples have performed excellently, clinching their fourth consecutive victory and rising to the top of the table in the national championship for players under 19 years old.
Maribor visited Nafta in Velika Polana, with 200 spectators attending the match. The Styrians celebrated a convincing victory, ending with a score of 4-0 for Dejan Dončić’s squad. Maribor’s youth team took the lead in the second minute when Luka Hunjet scored, and 16-year-old Niko Osterc doubled the lead to 2-0 in the 33rd minute, marking his first goal in his fourth match in the youth category.
In the second half, Maribor’s golden substitute from the bench, Alex Ristić, scored his ninth goal of the season (57th minute). The away team’s high-scoring performance, which has scored an incredible 17 goals in the last four matches, was sealed three minutes before the end of regular time by Niko Grlić.
Nafta, after suffering its fourth consecutive defeat, is now last in the standings and faces increasing risk of relegation from the elite division. The lineup for Nafta included Fras, Peulić, Sintič, Jurović, Bacinger, Rajh, Čuček Bezjak, Zamuda, M. Plej, Horvat, and Pigac, with Macanović, Kočet, Leljak, Lavrenčič, and Gonza also getting a chance. Maribor’s visitors from the “Ljudski vrt” entered the match with Tomažič, Hunjet, Poredoš, Silajdžić, Čuk, Osterc, Katič, Kolednik, Antič Kurbus, Lorbek, and Grlić in the starting lineup, while Ristić, Mihelič, Dizdarević, Dukarić, and Kramberger came off the bench.
