In the 27th round of the second Slovenian football league, Krka and Tolmin also faced each other, two clubs fighting to avoid relegation. It’s no surprise that Tolmin is in this position, as they are newcomers to the 2. SNL. Meanwhile, Krka was considered one of the favorites for promotion to the Prva liga Telemach before the season, but the pharmacists have long been out of contention.
Krka once again failed to secure a win, ending in a 2-2 draw. Guests took the lead in the 21st minute through Rastko Marsenić, but Krka responded with two quick goals within two minutes. In the 33rd minute, Tilen Kovačič equalized, followed shortly by a goal from Matija Carl. One of the pivotal moments of the match came in the 62nd minute when Veron Šalja received his second yellow card and was sent off. With one player less, Krka held on for only nine minutes before Nejc Močnik leveled the score with his eighth goal of the season in the 71st minute. It’s worth noting that Tolmin then sought a third goal, attacking and almost besieging Krka’s goal, but the home goalkeeper, Luka Čadež, remained unbeaten.
With the draw, Tolmin remains in 12th place in the 2. SNL standings, holding a two-point advantage over the nearest pursuer, which happens to be Krka. Krka is currently in 13th place but has only a two-point lead over Tabor, who is second to last and in the relegation zone to the 3. SNL.
The 27th round of the 2. SNL will conclude on Sunday with three matches: Jadran versus Bilje and Bistrica versus Beltinci will kick off at 17:00, followed by the big Primorska derby between Gorica and Primorje at 20:00.
