While in the east, the battle for promotion to the 2. SNL is still intense and tight, in the west, Dob is getting closer to swiftly returning to the second league. Of course, there is still quite some time left until the end of the season, and by then, everything could change significantly. However, for now, Dob has no reason to complain about the course of the competitive year. Under the guidance of experienced coach Dark Birjukov, the team secured another victory on Saturday, and thanks to Šenčur’s heavy defeat, they increased their lead over the Gorenjci to +6.
This time, Dob visited the Coast, where they convincingly defeated Izola in front of 120 spectators. The guests celebrated a 3:0 victory, with goals scored by Darko Mitrović (9), Denis Petrovič (29), and Jaka Kasnik (72). The league’s top scorer, Slobodan Vuk (17 goals), remained goalless this time, but Dob didn’t seem to mind. Meanwhile, Izola missed a great opportunity to join the promotion race. Had they won, they would have been nine points behind Dob, but now the difference is a significant +15.
Šenčur faced Adria in Mirna, where the home team celebrated a 4:1 victory in front of 120 spectators. The hosts scored two goals from penalties (Luka Batić, Žiga Podgornik), while Svit Teodor Benedetič and Kris Ivančič also found the net from open play. The only goal for Gorenjci was scored by Halifa Kujabi, who equalized to 1:1 in the 51st minute, but it wasn’t enough to secure at least one point.
Šenčur’s slip was also capitalized on by Slovan, who defeated Šobec Lesce at home in front of 150 spectators, now trailing the second place by only two points. For the hosts, David Popovič (13), Dimitrij Jenko (17), and Medin Ibričić (90) scored, while Boštjan Gaberšček (45) and Lazar Ikač (55) found the net for the visitors.
