Even the police had to intervene in the 3rd SNL! Jesenice celebrated in front of Izola fans, they lost their nerve, guests went home with police escort
In the 3rd SNL, Saturday’s match between Izola and Jesenice turned into a dramatic affair. Official data from the Football Association of Slovenia (NZS) reported around 150 spectators, while local club channels estimated about 400 people in attendance. Regardless of the exact number, one thing was certain: Izola supporters went home both disappointed and angry. The situation even escalated to the point where police intervention was required.
Izola took the lead twice against the visiting Gorenjska side. Rok Požrl scored in the 28th minute to make it 1-0, and Aleksandar Škorić added another in the 52nd minute to bring the score to 2-1. However, in the final 15 minutes, Jesenice answered back with two goals. The game reached a boiling point when Marko Latinčič scored the winning goal in the 83rd minute, sparking tensions as the Jesenice players celebrated in front of Izola’s fan section, leading to an intense reaction from the home crowd.
After the match, Jesenice players were protected by police officers outside their locker room, who later escorted them from the stadium. Jesenice confirmed the police escort on Instagram with the caption, “Police escort for the winners!” Meanwhile, Primorci summarized the match they lost 2-3 with a brief statement: “In an electrified atmosphere with 400 spectators, a defeat to Jesenice.“
