Not only did Triglav and Gorica (2:3) face each other in the second round of the new 2. SNL season on Friday, but Krka also played against Tolmin. In Novo Mesto, around 250 spectators watched the match, and all those supporting the home team left disappointed. Krka again let down their fans, suffering their first defeat after drawing with Slovan in the first round (1:1). Tolmin won 2:1, with both goals scored by Kalani Almeida, who joined from Gorica in the summer. When Nik Kapun successfully converted a penalty in the 81st minute, it was too late for the home team…
When the first half of the derby between Triglav and Gorica ended on Friday in the 2. SNL, the match between Krka and Tolmin began in Novo Mesto. The team from Novo Mesto played their second consecutive home game, but the field was not optimal for beautiful, attractive football.
Despite the difficult field, the spectators at the Portoval stadium saw the first goal in the 12th minute. Tolmin player Kalani Carrilho Dos Santos Almeida started a solo run from his half, practically ran the entire field, and with a powerful shot into the near corner and under the crossbar, beat the home goalkeeper Luka Čadež. Just before the end of the first half, Krka almost equalized through a shot by Domna Žura from a distance, but his attempt was well saved by the visiting goalkeeper Tim Štrasberger, ensuring Tolmin went into the break with a narrow lead.
In the second half, Kalani Almeida again showed his quality in the 61st minute, increasing his team’s lead with a goal into the far corner of the goalkeeper after a Tolmin counterattack. Krka found themselves in trouble, and the team coached by Adnan Zildžović could not find a way to beat the Tolmin goalkeeper. However, the team from Novo Mesto managed to reduce the deficit in the 83rd minute when former Olimpija player Nik Kapun scored from the penalty spot, giving his teammates a glimmer of hope to at least salvage a point from the match.
But Tolmin managed to hold on to their lead, even though they received a red card in the referee’s added time. Rastko Marsenić first received a yellow card for a foul and then another for pushing, resulting in his exclusion. Krka ran out of time to equalize.
