The club season 2023/24 is slowly coming to an end in the fourth division stage as well, where on Wednesday in the Regional Ljubljana League (RGL) the big derby for the first place and – of course – promotion was on the schedule. At the match in Šiška, believe it or not, as many as 1500 spectators gathered, witnessing an exciting clash between Ljubljana and Rudar. The guests from Trbovlje were already leading 2-0 and were on the verge of promotion.
However, Ljubljana, coached by Ermin Raković, did not want to give up. They equalized to 2-2, saving themselves from defeat, but despite the excellent comeback, they remained without the desperately needed victory. For the guests, both goals were scored by Ivica Perić, who found the net in the 13th and 16th minutes. The second goal was scored from the penalty spot.
As mentioned, Ljubljana woke up in the second half, first reducing the deficit in the 62nd minute through Gal Lunder (62), and then in the 72nd minute, Klemen Kolar also scored from the penalty spot, who with 32 goals is by far the top scorer of the RGL. Towards the end of the match, Ljubljana pressed hard on Rudar’s goal, had some promising opportunities, but were saved by both the goalkeeper and the goal frame.
Rudar retained the one-point advantage over this opponent with the draw, so the final round will decide the promotion. In the final round, Rudar will play at home against Arne Tabor, while Ljubljana will visit Bela Krajina. The matches are scheduled for Saturday.
