Dob in the west and Drava in the east – it seems that these are the clubs that will secure a spot in the 2. Division this season. Dob already has a 10-point lead over Slovan, while Drava further increased their lead over the nearest pursuer over the weekend. ZASE Videm unexpectedly lost at home to Hajdina, which Drava took advantage of, leading by 8 points after a high-scoring victory against Dravograd.
Nejc Medved was the hero for Hajdina in front of 250 spectators, scoring the only goal of the match in the 72nd minute. Meanwhile, Drava faced a team from Carinthia at home, which has only 4 points and is facing fourth-tier football next season. The Ptuj side celebrated a 5-1 victory in front of 150 spectators.
Once again, the young talent Liam Doplihar was in fine form for Drava (scoring a total of 18 goals between the youth and senior teams this spring), finding the net twice, while Nik Erhatič scored two goals from the penalty spot. Maj Penič also scored for Drava, while Davor Rogina netted the only goal for Dravograd. It’s worth mentioning that third-tier teams will play only 6 more games in the 3. Division this season. Promotion is therefore within reach for Dob and Drava.
