In Pivovarna Union Cup eight matches were played on Thursday, leaving football fans in Slovenia deprived of any major surprises. It is interesting to note that Primorje was the only club to take advantage of its home court advantage to advance. The two clubs that have already been national champions are the most upset: Olimpija is a second league club NK Brinje Grosuplje
was beaten only after a white spot kick, and Gorica, away at third-placed Vipava, was also happy with an 11th-minute penalty.
On Tuesday, Maribor was promoted, beating Jurovski Dol 9-0 in front of 3500 spectators. The last match of the second round of the Pivovarna Union Cup will be played on Friday, when the two teams will face off at 14. Stojnci and Podvinci will start measuring at 1:00.
Let’s add that after the 2. round, the cup competition will be “transferred” to the Football Association of Slovenia, which means that the matches will no longer be regionally based, as has been the case so far.
