The second and final Sunday match of the 22nd round in the 2. SNL took place in Ravne na Koroškem, where two clubs battling for survival faced off. Well, Fužinar continues to fight for survival, while Dravinja has taken one of the key and most important steps towards securing their status as a second-league team for the 2024/25 season. The guests won the tense encounter 2-1 and now sit in ninth place with an eight-point lead over second-to-last Ilirija.
Dravinja, who won three out of four matches played this spring, took the lead in Carinthia in the 18th minute when experienced top-league player Lovro Grajfoner converted a penalty into a goal. Before the end of the first half – specifically in the 36th minute – Divine Igwe Ikenna, the 19-year-old Nigerian forward of Fužinar, equalized. The decision about the winner came in the 73rd minute when Žan Ramšak secured the victory for the team led by coach Almir Sulejmanović. Like Ikenna, Ramšak also celebrated his sixth goal of the season, making them both the top scorers for their respective clubs.
While Dravinja, as mentioned, is currently ninth in the 2. SNL standings, Fužinar is in 14th place, with only three points ahead of Ilirija from Ljubljana. It’s worth noting that the 22nd round of the 2. SNL will conclude on Monday when Triglav and NK Brinje Grosuplje will play the remaining 13 minutes of a match interrupted on Saturday. The Dolenjci will enter the short battle with a 1-0 lead.
