In the 2. SNL, the 20th round concluded, bringing another change to the top of the table. The pace is once again set by Nafta, taking advantage of the home stumble of Beltinci. Primorje also remains in the promotion race, trailing Nafta by just three points. Nafta and Primorje are set to clash in the next round, scheduled for the end of next week.
The first Sunday match took place in Beltinci, where the home team aimed to secure the top spot in the 2. SNL standings with a victory but failed. NK Brinje Grosuplje proved to be a tough opponent, resulting in a 1-1 draw. In front of almost 500 spectators, the guests took the lead in the 64th minute with the ninth goal of the season by Lan Piskule. Ten minutes later, Tian Kosi equalized for Beltinci. It’s worth noting that the Dolenjci had an excellent opportunity for victory just before the end of the match but missed a shot from a few meters away.

The Prekmurje side celebrated a 4-0 victory in front of 200 spectators, with Lun Bončina scoring twice, now leading the scoring charts with 13 goals. Matic Paljk and Žan Bešir also found the net. Interestingly, all three players had previously played for Primorje. As mentioned earlier, Primorje remains in contention for promotion to the 1. SNL.
