RTV Slovenija (MMC)State / PublicCenter8 hr. ago

The Slovenian football team Silika, who are the national champions in futsal, narrowly missed qualifying for the main stage of the Champions League. They finished second at the tournament held in Graz after drawing their final match against the strongly Slovene-influenced Athletic Club Graz (2:2). Despite a strong start, scoring two goals in the first 13 minutes through Žiga Franka and Alan Muratagić, Silika failed to maintain their lead. The hosts equalized by halftime, with Croatian player Mario Crnčević scoring both goals. In the second half, Silika made a strong push but were unable to score, unlike their previous match against Macedonian Proekt where goalkeeper Nejc Berzelak had scored a goal. Athletic Club Graz, which includes several Slovenian players like Matej Fideršek, Žiga Čeh, and others, accumulated nine points at the tournament. Silika, led by legendary coach Mile Simeunović, secured five points with a win over Maccabi Netanya (8:1) and a draw with Proekt (3:3).
