Club career

Born in Dravograd, Slovenia, Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia, Pečnik started his career at hometown club NK Dravograd. After showing promise in its youth teams, he was signed by NK Celje, making his first division debut on 24 April 2004, against FC Ljubljana.[1]

The following year, Pečnik played in only seven league matches, adding a few Cup appearances ties, including the final against FC Koper.[2] In the 2005–06 season he managed to gain a regular place in the first team, eventually establishing himself as a key offensive player.

In 2007–08, Pečnik was Celje's top scorer with 14 league goals.[3] After five seasons, he was loaned out in June 2008 to Sparta Prague,[4] but appeared rarely with the Czech first division outfit during his six-month stay, spending most of his time with the reserve squad.[5]

After a further 15 league games with Celje, into the 2009 spring, Pečnik signed with C.D. Nacional of Portugal.[6][7]

International career

Pečnik made his debut for the Slovenian national team on 1 April 2009, in a 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Northern Ireland.[8]

He scored his first goal for Slovenia on 10 October 2009, in the same competition, a 2–0 win Slovakia. On 14 November, he scored a decisive goal in the play-offs' first leg, as the national side lost 1–2 with Russia at the Luzhniki Stadium,[9] only to win 1–0 in the second leg, taking the tie on the away goals rule, and qualifying for a World Cup for the second time in the nation's history; in the final stages, he appeared twice as a late substitute, having to be however stretchered off in the match against United States.[10]
