On Friday, the opening matches of the 2. SNL 6th round were played, and there was excitement in Novem mesto and Ptuju. Krka hosted Ilirija and secured their first home win of the new season, while Drava suffered their third consecutive defeat in 2. SNL in the oldest Slovenian town. Drava has conceded a total of 13 goals in three matches, scoring only one. This time, the players of NK Brinje Grosuplje caused the damage on Štajersko.
In Novo mesto, the match between the Dolenjci and the Ljubljančani was played on an artificial pitch, as the grass at Portoval was completely destroyed. Under these unusual conditions, Krka adapted better and defeated Ilirija 1-0. The decision on the winner was made in the 66th minute when Mark Gliha scored his fourth goal of the season in 2. SNL. Ilirija ended the match with one player less after Mark Čeh received a red card in the 78th minute.
Drava Equalized with Goal from Former Lyon and Porto Player
In Ptuj, the hosts also played on artificial turf, as the main pitch was “underwater” due to heavy rainfall on Friday and was consequently completely soaked. The match was watched by 120 spectators, who saw five goals, but unfortunately, the net of Drava was hit four times. The guests took the lead in the 29th minute with a goal from Kan Kovač, and Ugo Coelho, a former youth international from Portugal born in France, equalized in the 41st minute. He joined Ptuj during the recent summer transfer window.
However, the hosts’ joy from the goal by the former player of Lyon, Porto, and Bastia was short-lived. Just two minutes later, Angelo Timotej Rec unfortunately scored an own goal, and NK Brinje Grosuplje regained the lead. In the second half, Josip Marinić converted a penalty in the 60th minute, and the high victory for the guests was sealed by Josip Zorica four minutes before the end of the match. Additionally, Nikola Jovićević and Luka Turudija, who recently joined NK Brinje Grosuplje on loan from Mura, made their debuts for the Dolenjci club in the second half.
The 6th round of 2. SNL will continue on Saturday with matches Tolmin – Aluminij, Jadran Dekani – Dravinja, Tabor – Beltinci, and Bistrica – Rudar Velenje. On Sunday, there will be two more fixtures: Slovan – Triglav and Bilje – Gorica.
