On Saturday, one of the craziest matches of the 2024/25 season took place in 2. SNL. Gorica, who is leading the standings and openly flirting with promotion to the Prva liga Telemach, hosted the bottom-placed Slovan at home. The Primorci were leading 2:0 but ultimately suffered their first defeat of the season. And in such a way: Slovan scored an incredible 5 goals after being behind!
Home team Gorica was expectedly dominant in the first part of the first half, but the guests put up a good fight. Slovan’s resistance lasted until the 30th minute when Luka Marjanac scored to give the hosts the lead, marking his fifth goal of the season. The Goričani then extended their lead in the 39th minute, with Luka Bulatović finding the net for his sixth goal in this year’s championship.
Just a minute later, Slovan struck back. The Ljubljančani managed to reduce the deficit with a goal from Tihomir Maksimović, and that’s how the teams went into halftime. However, the second half followed a scenario that practically no one expected. Slovan clearly gained momentum after reducing the lead, and just after the start of the second half, in the 48th minute, the guests managed to equalize when Vall Janković beat Gorica’s goalkeeper Alen Jurco.
We expected a surge from the home team, the sinje modri, but the players of Nenad Stojaković simply could not get back on track after conceding the equalizer. Instead of scoring themselves, Slovan completed a total turnaround. In the 67th minute, Slovan took the lead through Aleks Ristić, and just over a minute later, Tian Pantelić added another goal, with Tihomir Maksimović marking his second goal of the match in the 84th minute, finally bringing Gorica to their knees. The visiting club celebrated their first victory of the season after returning to 2. SNL, which the Ljubljana team had been waiting for nearly three decades.
On Sunday, five matches will take place in the 2. SNL, four of which will start at 2 PM, and at 3 PM, you can also watch the match between Triglav and Dekani live on Sportklub 1.
