After five consecutive defeats and eight winless matches, Tolmin secured a new package of three points in a match where nobody gave them a chance of success. The Primorci faced the leading Nafta at home, a team that is indeed racing towards the Prva liga Telemach, but this time received a very, very painful blow.
The Lendava team left Tolmin empty-handed as the home team clinched a surprising 2-1 victory. The hosts took the lead in the 23rd minute when Rene Prodanovič converted a penalty into a goal. Just five minutes later, Stjepan Oštrek equalized for Nafta, which arrived in Tolmin after a series of four consecutive wins. Tolmin secured the win in the 74th minute when Croatian forward Vinko Skrbin found the net.
Nafta felt the absence of three important players in their starting lineup due to suspensions: Žan Bešir, Mihael Rebernik, and also the league’s top scorer Lun Bončina. This was certainly advantageous for Tolmin, although hardly anyone expected such an outcome. Despite the defeat, Nafta remains at the top of the 2. SNL table, but has undoubtedly given its competitors a chance to close the gap. The battle for promotion to the elite league will be more intense than ever.
