On Sunday, the final three matches of the 4th round of the second-division league were played. Gorica visited Ptuju, a Styrian-Pannonian derby took place in Slovenska Bistrica, and Krka hosted Dravinja at their home, albeit on a secondary pitch.
Drava, which had recorded a dominant win at home the previous week, faced Gorica, who aimed to continue their unbeaten streak. The sky-blue team from “Slovenian Las Vegas” started the match promisingly and took the lead in the 4th minute. By the 39th minute, the spectators in Ptuj hadn’t seen any more goals, but then came a real onslaught from the Novogoričani. In a span of five minutes, they scored three times, taking a substantial lead into the 15-minute break. In the second half, the battered home team tried to score at least a consolation goal, but in the 75th and 87th minutes, they had to restart from the center of the pitch. Gorica left with a resounding and deserved victory, still unbeaten.
For Gorica, who had a dream week after also winning the cup and eliminating Primorje, goals were scored by Luka Pihler, Lucas Mačak, Cene Kitek, Adis Hodžić, Adriano Bloudek, and Alessandro Comita. The young Italian midfielder scored his very first goal in the senior category.
In Slovenska Bistrica, Bistrica and Beltinci faced each other, both having suffered defeats in the previous round and thus eager for a full haul. The first goal came in the 29th minute, with the visitors taking the lead through Stjepan Oštrek, but the hosts equalized just two minutes later with a successful penalty by Jaša Martinčič. Martinčič then made it 2-1 in the 37th minute, giving Bistrica a lead at halftime, which they could not hold onto in the second half. In the 47th minute, the visitors equalized at 2-2 with a goal from Jura Štimac. The final score remained unchanged, resulting in a draw.
In New City, the match between the home team Krka and Dravinja took place. Due to the catastrophic condition of the main pitch, the teams played on an artificial turf. The visitors started better and scored in the 16th minute for a 1-0 lead, which was also the halftime score. Krka failed to seriously challenge Dravinja’s goalkeeper, while Almira Sulejmanović’s team capitalized on their next chance in the 51st minute and set the final score a minute before the regular time expired. Goals for Dravinja were scored by Matic Kopač (2) and Denis Vezjak. With this win, the Konjičani moved up to 6th place with seven points, the same as Triglav and Beltinci.
