On Friday, the opening match of the 28th round in the 2. SNL was played in Kranj. Triglav and Nafta faced each other, and in the end, the team from Lendava celebrated a priceless victory. The Prekmurje team was on the verge of another slip-up; it seemed like the match would end in a 1-1 draw. However, Stjepan Igrec found the net in the 89th minute, securing the valuable win for Nafta. With two rounds remaining in the season and one more game played, they have a five-point lead over Primorje.
The Prekmurje team took the lead in Kranj in the 10th minute when a home player scored an own goal. Josh Okpolokpo, formerly of Ipswich and Huddersfield, inadvertently put the ball into his own net, giving Nafta the lead. Triglav equalized in the first half, precisely in the 31st minute, with Edi Horvat scoring.
In the second half, both teams had several opportunities, but their finishing was very poor. The decision on the winner came in the 89th minute when Nafta’s captain, Stjepan Oštrek, made a sharp and powerful cross from the left wing, and Stjepan Igrec reacted most skillfully in front of the goal, pushing the ball into the net of the Kranj club.
The 28th round of the 2. SNL will continue on Saturday with matches between Brinje Grosuplje – Krka, Tabor – Gorica, Bilje – Dravinja (all at 17:00), Rudar Velenje – Jadran (at 18:00), and will conclude on Sunday with the matches Tolmin – Bistrica, Primorje – Fužinar (both at 17:00).
