At Portoval, in front of a truly modest number of spectators (officially there were 25 in the stands…), the opening match of the 21st round of the second Slovenian football league was played, featuring clubs that significantly underperformed in the autumn. Krka hosted Ilirija and was on the verge of defeat but ultimately managed to secure a point. Ljubljana’s team grabbed it at the last minute, leveling with Fužinar, who sits in 14th place, and extending their lead over the bottom-placed Tabor to +6. Krka is also far from trouble-free, with only three points ahead of their current opponent.
Krka, which underwent significant personnel changes in winter but is still seeking the right form, took the lead in the 39th minute when the “law of the former” struck. The net of Ilirija was shaken by Maj Rorič, who scored his first goal in Krka’s jersey precisely in the match against his former club. Krka held the lead until the 85th minute when the returning player to the Šiška club, Tilen Mlakar, secured a draw for the guests.
The 21st round of the 2. SNL will continue on Saturday with matches Dravinja – Gorica (15.00), Jadran Dekani – Fužinar (15.00), Bilje – Beltinci (15.00), and Nafta – Primorje (17.30). On Sunday, Brinje Grosuplje will face Tolmin (15.00), Bistrica will play against Triglav (15.00), and Rudar Velenje will meet Tabor Sežana (17.00).
