Slovenia's elimination from World Cup qualifying
According to The Sun: Slovenia, which dreamed of participating in the Euros, will not be able to head to North America next summer after a disastrous 2-0 home defeat to Kosovo. This match was a real disappointment for the team's fans.
On the field for the hosts were stars like Jaka Bijol from Leeds United and Jan, a legend of Atletico Madrid. However, their efforts did not help the team to win.
“The best own goal in history” was the reason for their elimination.
Kosovo, for its part, displayed confident play, which ultimately led to the unexpected victory. This defeat left Slovenia out of the possibility of meeting the best teams in the world, while for Kosovo, it was a significant step forward towards their dream.
