In the Saturday continuation of the 2. SNL, the 21st round unfolded, which already on Friday treated fans to the match Krka – Ilirija (1:1). The big winner of Saturday is undoubtedly Nafta, which defeated the third-placed Primorje in Lendava with 2:0. Likewise, the second-placed Beltinci failed to secure victory. Nafta now breathes somewhat easier at the top of the table, holding a four-point lead over their Prekmurje rival and one more than today’s opponent.
Around 500 spectators watched the match between Nafta and Primorje, where the first goal came in the 11th minute. At that moment, Lun Bončina shook the net of his former club, increasing his lead at the top of the goalscorers’ chart with his fourteenth goal of the season. The victory of the home team was sealed in the 71st minute by Stjepan Oštrek, who scored his tenth goal of the current competitive year. Primorje suffered their first loss in six matches.
Beltinci, also in the race for promotion, played away against Bilje, where around 200 spectators saw no goals. The match ended in a 0:0 draw. The strikers in Slovenian Konjice were also quite off their game, with around 350 spectators witnessing the clash between Dravinja and Gorica.
The Novogoričani emerged victorious with a 1:0 result, as the only goal of the match came in the 68th minute from the winter newcomer to the Novogorica team, Luka Marjanac. The hosts ended the match with one less player, as Denis Vezjak was sent off in the 92nd minute for a second yellow card. The decision of referee Aleksandar Matković greatly angered the home fans, who were convinced that a foul was committed on the edge of the penalty area against their team captain. Matković deemed that Vezjak simulated the situation, thus prematurely sending him off. These decisions were just two in a series of many that greatly angered the local football enthusiasts.
The match between Jadran and Fužinar was also played on Saturday, with the Korošci claiming an extremely important victory in the battle for survival. It ended 2:1 for the guests, who scored the first goal in the 24th minute through Petar Čuić, and the second in the 70th minute, when Jan Patrik Gabrovec found the back of the net. The honor goal for the hosts was scored by former Olimpija prospect Matija Burin in the 91st minute.
The 21st round of the 2. SNL will conclude on Sunday, with matches between Brinje Grosuplje – Tolmin (15:00), Bistrica – Triglav (15:00), and Rudar Velenje – Tabor (17:00).
