Hillel Soudani continues to carve his name into the annals of Prva Liga Telemach, with the seasoned 36-year-old striker adding another goal to his tally against NK Olimpija Ljubljana on Wednesday, during a thrilling late Matchday 26 encounter.
After a relatively subdued performance against NK Bravo on April 14, Soudani showcased his scoring prowess once again on Wednesday, April 17, at the iconic Stožice Stadium.
Facing off against Olimpija Ljubljana, the Algerian international found the back of the net in the 68th minute, capitalizing on an opportunity created by Josip Iličić’s shot, which was initially thwarted by goalkeeper Matevž Vidovšek.
Soudani demonstrated his predatory instincts by calmly slotting home the rebound, a goal befitting of his reputation as a seasoned goal poacher.
Soudani’s latest strike marks his fourth goal in the month of April alone, following his brace against NS Mura and his earlier goal against NK Aluminij Kidricevo.
With this latest feat, Soudani’s goal tally for the season now stands at an impressive 12 goals, cementing his status as one of the league’s most prolific scorers.
Despite Soudani’s individual brilliance, NK Maribor ultimately secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over NK Olimpija Ljubljana, narrowing the gap to just four points between the two sides in the league standings.
As Soudani’s goal-scoring exploits continue to captivate fans and pundits alike, his contributions serve as a testament to his enduring quality and unwavering commitment to excellence on the football pitch.
With each goal, Soudani reinforces his reputation as a true talisman for NK Maribor, inspiring hope and excitement among supporters as the season reaches its climax.
