What a drama in the battle for promotion to the Prva liga Telekom Slovenije! After it seemed that Nafta, after some difficulties, had woken up in time and the Prekmurje team actually had everything in their hands, they suffered an almost shocking defeat on Saturday. The Lendava team visited Jadran and surprisingly lost 0-2 in Dekani.
After a goalless first half, the home team stepped up the pressure in the second half, scored twice, and secured victory, guaranteeing their survival in the 2nd SNL. Despite the defeat, Nafta still leads the 2nd SNL standings, but with one game less and only two points ahead of Primorje. So, if the latter wins both remaining matches (Triglav, Tabor), they will secure direct promotion to the Prva liga Telekom Slovenije!
