Luxembourg narrowly loses to Slovenia: an evening of opportunities and returns
On Friday evening, June 6, 2025, the national teams of Luxembourg and Slovenia met in a friendly match. The match ended with a narrow 0-1 in favor of the Slovenians, with the only goal coming from Tamar Svetlin in the 44th minute. Svetlin scored the goal with a spectacular backheel after receiving a cross from Petar Stojanovic. Despite the close result, the first half was rather uneventful, with only one compelling scoring opportunity for both teams.
During the game, Gerson Rodrigues was the most active player for Luxembourg. Already in the 5th minute he tried to endanger the Slovenian goal with a long-range shot. After the half-time break, Luxembourg showed a more offensive style of play and increased the pressure on the Slovenian defense. Rodrigues had two more chances during this phase, but they were brilliantly saved by Slovenian goalkeeper Igor Vekic.
Opportunities for Luxembourg
After coming on as a substitute in the 65th minute, Aiman Dardari had a dangerous shot but missed the goal. Dirk Carlson had a header in the 88th minute, which was also saved by Vekic. Despite the efforts and the chances, Luxembourg was unable to equalize.
Particularly noteworthy is the comeback of Mika Pinto, who was substituted before the 60th minute. Brian Madjo was substituted in the same period. Vincent and Sébastien Thill came into the game in the 71st minute, but were also unable to provide any decisive impetus to turn the game around.
