In the 2. SNL, the last three matches of the 25th round were played on Sunday, after which the top of the table became even more tense. This was mainly due to the efforts of the players from NK Brinje Grosuplje, who visited Lendava and defeated the leading Nafta with 4:3. Besides the seven goals, spectators also witnessed three red cards, two of which were for the visitors, who nevertheless secured the victory. The ones who were most delighted by this were Beltinci, who defeated Dravinja away and are now only one point behind their Prekmurje rivals. On Sunday, there was also a match between Jadran Dekani and Tolmin, which ended goalless.
In Slovenske Konjice, 450 spectators watched the match between Dravinja and Beltinci, and the hero of the guests was Vito Štrakl, who scored both goals for a 2:0 victory. The 22-year-old former defender of Mura scored his first goals of the season, both against the home team’s goalkeeper Domen Mrežar, in the 13th and 38th minutes.
In Lendava, seven goals were scored, unfortunately for the home fans, one more by the visitors, who were never behind at any point in the game. In front of 400 spectators, the guests took the lead in the 32nd minute when Marko Brkić converted a penalty. Eight minutes later, Josip Vuica equalized, and the score was 1:1 at halftime. In the 64th minute, Aljaž Zalaznik scored for the visitors, and in the 71st minute, Stjepan Igrec equalized again. Just a minute later, Aljaž Zalaznik scored again, and in the 80th minute, Marko Brkić converted another penalty. In the 90th minute, the hosts were also awarded a penalty, which Stjepan Oštrek converted, but there was not enough time left for at least a draw.
It’s worth noting that Tibor Gorenc Stanković (67) and Nejc Pušnik (89) were sent off for the visitors, while the home team’s Hungarian player Sebestyen Lorant (87) was dismissed early.
