In the hot weather conditions at the Športni Center Kranj, the Roses started the match better, taking the lead in the 8th minute after a beautifully played action initiated and finished by Nejc Močnik, who defended Tolmin’s colors last season. However, just over ten minutes later, Kranj equalized. After a foul by Luka Bulatović in the visitors’ penalty area, referee Denis Halilović pointed to the penalty spot, which Luka Šušnjara converted in the 21st minute, albeit after a rebound from goalkeeper Alen Jurca.
Although Gorica, missing injured captain Tim Matavž and Luka Pršo, slightly dominated after the goal, the Eagles took the lead in the 37th minute. After a promising action from the Roses, the Kranj players intercepted the ball, launched a counterattack, got the ball to Luka Šušnjara, who crossed from the left side to Toni Vinogradac, who then put the ball behind goalkeeper Jurca, setting the halftime score at 2:1 for Triglav.
Both teams made substitutions during halftime. For Triglav, Jaroš Čadež and Kristian Dakić left the game, replaced by newcomer Lan Piskule and Jaka Kasnik. The Roses made one substitution, with Miha Žejen giving way to Luka Marjanac, who provided an assist for the equalizer in the 67th minute. After a beautiful cross from the right side, Nejc Močnik scored to make it 2:2, marking his second goal of the match.
In the continuation, both teams failed to create mature chances, until Gorica’s coach introduced 17-year-old Maj Blažič, who practically immediately upon entering the game, ensured the second turnaround and secured three crucial points for Gorica against a direct competitor for the title in the 2. SNL.
