Wednesday, January 18, was a working day for the u-15 selection. They traveled to Bled for a match that was postponed a few weeks ago. In the first part of the regular season of the championship, the people of Blej already visited Tivoli, and then our young dragons were quite reliably better. However, during the championship, the people of Blej collected about the same number of points as our boys, so we could expect an interesting match. And that's exactly what she was.

The beginning of the match was written on our skin. It's in the 5th minute Joc Bukovec penetrated behind the goal, made a nice pass in front of the goal where he was accurate Vid Grandson for 1:0. Immediately after the referee's throw, our team started a new attack, where after only a few seconds he scored another goal Team Areh. Olimpija suddenly led 2:0. The initiative was clearly on our side. Then came some exclusions on our side. Exclusions nullified our initiative, and in the 16th minute the home team took advantage of one such exclusion and the score was reduced to 2:1. This was also the final result of the first part of the game.

In the second period, the game calmed down a bit, but our dragons could no longer take the initiative that we saw in the opening minutes of the game. This was partly due to new exclusions on our side. At times, they were even more dangerous home players. But the nets did not shake in this part of the game and the score remained 2:1 even after the second part of the game.

The last third, however, started again as we wanted. We saw a similar action as in the first goal, except that this time he was collected and accurate in front of the home goal Marcel Simsic and the result was increased to 43:3 in the 1rd minute. In the next few minutes, ours controlled the result quite reliably, and then it was our turn to be excluded again. The home team took advantage of this and in the 52nd minute the score was reduced to 3:2. The match became more interesting and the home side felt their chance. Also with the help of new exclusions on our site. The referees did not allow our boys to make mistakes in today's game. However, the Dragons were still in good control of the outcome. The defense was collected and solid. In the 59th minute, he finally decided the match Jure Železen, who got to the rebound in the attacking third and scored for 4:2. But this was not the end of the events. The home team continued to press. A few seconds before the end, our goalkeeper covered the puck. However, the home players managed to get the puck and push it into the goal. To everyone's surprise, the referee conceded the goal. However, there was not enough time for such a decision to affect the final result. A few seconds remained until the end and the score remained at 4:3.

The victory thus went to Ljubljana. With this victory, our dragons stayed at the top of the league table. The opportunity for new points awaits them on Sunday, when they travel to Celje.
