On the first day of the weekend, four matches of the second division were scheduled for Round 8, but one was postponed. Due to the saturated field, the match between Bilje and Brinje was canceled, and the opponents will have to wait for a rescheduled date. The conditions for play in the remaining matches were good enough for the games to take place despite the poor weather affecting a large part of the country.
In Ptuju, Drava faced Triglav. The Ptujs had recorded only one point in their last four matches and had found the net just once. Coach Saša Gajser wanted to achieve more on home soil this time. After the first half against Triglav, they were satisfied with the scoreline being level. However, their performance faltered in the second half, and Triglav took advantage of two opportunities. Toni Vinogradac, a former player for Rogaška, scored for the Kranj team in the 64th and 68th minutes, securing three new points for the eagles, who now have 15 points.
In the sports park Brajda, spectators witnessed an interesting clash between Tolmin and Gorica. The Novogoričani aimed to maintain their top position in the standings and started very promisingly, scoring in the 2nd minute through Adriano Bloudek. Tolmin searched for an equalizer and found it just before halftime in the 44th minute when Kalani Almeida scored, providing the home team with a calmer start to the second half.
The score remained unchanged until the 73rd minute when former Slovenian international Tim Matavž struck, scoring his first goal for Gorica since 2007 and giving them the lead. A direct red card for the guests four minutes later complicated their task in the closing stages of the match, but the blue and whites held onto their lead and solidified their top position.
Ilirija traveled to Dekani for this match. The Primorci were considered favorites on paper, but the Ljubljančani did not come to Dekani waving a white flag. Both teams had several good opportunities to score in both halves, but neither could convert their chances. The match ended in a goalless draw and shared points. (vm)
