The last Saturday match of the 28th round of the 2nd SNL took place in Velenje, where 150 spectators gathered at the Ob jezeru Stadium. They witnessed the clash between Rudar and Jadran, which wasn’t exactly a football spectacle, but after 90 minutes, the home team’s fans left considerably happier.
Rudar, already securing their place in the 2nd SNL, managed to defeat Jadran, a club still not entirely safe (Jadran holds a five-point lead over Ilirija, with one game less played), with a score of 1:0. The decisive moment came from Jure Matjašič, former Slovenian international, who started the game on the bench. Rudar’s coach, Simon Sešlar, brought him in during the 38th minute, replacing Borna Panić. The quick-footed winger found the net in the 57th minute against the visitors from Dekani.
31-year-old Jure Matjašič, who played his only game for Slovenia in 2016 against Turkey (under coach Srečko Katanec), is also Rudar’s second-highest scorer with six goals. Topping the club’s scoring chart is young Adriano Bloudek, who has scored 10 times.
In the penultimate round of the 2nd SNL, Rudar will visit Dravinja, while Jadran will face Nafta at home, a team on the verge of securing direct promotion to the Prva liga Telemach.
