Olimpija and ŽNK Ljubljana concluded the 19th round in the 1. SŽNL league. In Šiška, we witnessed a draw with one goal on each side. The other three matches were played yesterday, except on Ptuj, where the home teams celebrated victories. On Ptuj, after a turnaround, Krim’s team emerged victorious. However, after this round, the balance of power on the table changed. Olimpija will apparently fight for the second place rather than the title. Following today’s draw, they are already trailing Mura by eight points with just five rounds left.
Olimpija? The reality is probably the fight for 2nd place
The first match of the round was observed in Velesovo, where Cerkelj and Gažon clashed. The home team, Cerkelj, celebrated a 2-0 victory. They turned the game in their favor already in the first half. To the delight of the home fans, Lori Škulj scored in the 28th minute, and Varja Špiler sealed the deal with a goal in the 39th minute. With this win, the Cerkelj players solidified their position in 6th place on the table, now with 21 points. Gažon, with four points, remains at the bottom.
Next, it was time for the match between Mura and Radomlje. Mura’s team confirmed their status as clear favorites and triumphed with a 3-0 victory, resting some players ahead of the upcoming derby. Radomlje experienced an early setback, with Noelle Vilčnik scoring in the 3rd minute to put the black-and-whites in the lead with her 22nd goal of the season. Despite a good defensive effort from Radomlje, including hitting the woodwork, they conceded twice in the second half. In the 61st minute, Yana Malakhova doubled the lead, and Evelina Kos sealed the 3-0 victory in the 73rd minute.
The last game of the 19th round saw a city derby in Ljubljana. Olimpija and Ljubljana were evenly matched throughout the game, creating regular chances. However, it’s worth noting that both goalkeepers were exceptionally good today. Olimpija scored first. They outplayed Ljubljana’s defense, and Laura Šenk scored from close range to make it 1-0. At the start of the second half, Ljubljana’s players struck back. Thanks to Tjaša Tibaut, they leveled the score. Both teams had chances in the closing stages, but the score remained unchanged, and both teams had to settle for a draw.
