The 2024/25 season kicked off in the 3rd SNL this weekend. While we have already reported on the exciting events in the west, it was also bustling in the east. Except for the match between Čarda Martjanci and Brežice (scheduled for September 4th), all the games of the 1st round were played. For the first time since their relegation from the 2nd SNL, Fužinar was in action, but under the new coach Aleš Kačičnik, they did not shine in front of 250 spectators.
The Korošci hosted Zavrč and lost the match 2:0. The first goal was scored by Alen Jambriško in the 18th minute, and Denis Potočnik sealed the victory for the former top-tier team in the 67th minute. Fužinar’s efforts were not helped by the fact that they started the match with three Italians (Marcos Piovano, Mariano Trivisonno, Federico Venturini) and one Argentine (Augusto Cuevas). However, it is also true that Aleš Kačičnik has a fairly young squad that will need some time to gel and adapt to the specific nature of third-tier football.
Šmartno also started the new season excellently, defeating Dobrovce 3:0 at home. Goals in the second half were scored by Žiga Sojč, former Olimpija prospect Semin Omerović, and Dominik Vrbovšek. Hajdina edged out Ljutomer 2:1 (Marko Drevenšek, Matija Bojnec; Žiga Ozbetič), Krško beat Korotan 2:0 at home (Tadej Petančič, Žiga Ribič), Videm and Starše drew 1:1 (Črt Vuković; Tim Golob), and Šampion fell 0:3 to Podvinci in front of their own fans (Žan Zamuda Horvat, Jan Ziko Zajko, Jernej Orovič).
