Last season’s 2. SNL teams clashed on the first league stage: Nafta took the lead, Primorje drew, but in the end the points were shared
All good things must come to an end, and Primorje had to return to Novo Gorica after three home matches in Ajdovščina. Recently reopened, the main pitch in Nova Gorica welcomed few fans through its gates. Only around 150 spectators attended the 13th-round Prva Liga Telemach match between Primorje and Nafta, which ended in a 1-1 draw with one goal on each side.
The match in Nova Gorica began with a minute of silence, honoring former Slovenian national team player Andrej Želko, who recently passed away. Primorje started actively but did not trouble the visiting goalkeeper Žan Mauricio significantly. In the 24th minute, Nafta’s Zoran Lesjak hit the crossbar from 16 meters.
For the home side, Domagoj Babin responded with an inaccurate shot. Nafta came close again in the 42nd minute when Gašper Tratnik made a solid save on Rok Pirtovšek‘s shot. After a series of missed chances, Luka Dumančić broke the deadlock early in the second half, scoring from 10 meters and ending Nafta’s goal drought of over 400 league minutes.
The visitors’ joy was short-lived, as Žan Bešir equalized 10 minutes later from close range after a left-side pass. Bešir, who played for Nafta last season, helped them in the 1. SNL before the club ended his contract, making the goal especially sweet. Both teams created promising opportunities afterward, but the score remained unchanged.
