Olimpija beat the leaders Brinje at home! The U19 match was played in Jama, and the Green-Whites won the game on the artificial turf pitch thanks to Edmond Imeraj’s accurate free kick. The Dragons jumped just below the top of the table with another victory. They are just one point behind first place (26).

Boštjan Miklič, head coach of the juniors, said after the victory: ”We saw a very tough match against a very good opponent. We suffered at times, but with hard work we came up with the perfect result. Tactically we were right and luck was on our side also. Especially at the free kick action, the ball somehow ended up in the net. Congratulations to the boys for a very important win, but we will be looking for another three-point package on Saturday and try to continue in this rhythm. We must not stop here. We have an away game in Nova Gorica and until then we have to take our time, see how the boys are, few of them had to leave the game early this time due to minor injuries.”

The meeting with ND Gorica will start at 3 pm.
