NK Niko Železniki, competing in the Gorenjska Football League (GNL – the fourth tier in Slovenia), was, as expected, no match for Triglav in the Pivovarna Union Cup. The Kranj team recently replaced their coach, and the sporting director also left, with Darijan Matić temporarily taking charge. Initially, it was said he would oversee two matches, but the former Slovenian international sat on the Triglav bench for the third time this time. He fulfilled his duties excellently, as the “eagles” comfortably won 5-0 away in front of 250 spectators.
Triglav broke down the resistance of the club, which had suffered three defeats in its three GNL matches, after about 40 minutes. When Toni Vinogradac scored just before the end of the first half, the path to advancing was wide open. In the second half, Ivica Vidović, a product of Dinamo Zagreb, scored in the 61st and 67th minutes, followed by Lan Piskule in the 74th minute, and Jaka Kasnik sealed Triglav’s big win with a goal a minute before the end of regular time.
Additionally, NK Velesovo – Cerklje and Preddvor also advanced through the final round of the MNZ Kranj cup competition. Velesovo won 2-0 against Polet, while Preddvor claimed a big 5-0 victory over Eksist Žiri at the new sports park in front of 230 spectators. This result is a major surprise, as Preddvor plays in the GNL, while Eksist Žiri competes in the 3. SNL. Despite this, Preddvor triumphed with goals from Rok Tomažič, Kristjan Eržen, Jan Ajdovec, and two from Luka Prestor.
