Promising trio of games concludes after strong showing against France and a win over Kazakhstan.
The young Boys in Green went behind right on half-time despite being the stronger of the two teams but a moment of brilliance from St. Patrick’s Athletic’s 16-year-old striker Mason Melia earned the draw.
Cathal O’Sullivan came closest in the 25th minute when his in-swinging cross wrong footed the goalkeeper but struck the bar and bounced clear. Slovenia took the lead against the run of play when Erik Kojzek was allowed space in the area to pick out Luka Toplovic to apply the finish.
