Despite the bad weather on Friday, some matches of the final round of the autumn part of the 2nd SNL were played on Saturday. In Primorska, Tabor faced Dekani, on the artificial turf in Grosuplje Brinje played against Beltinci, in Bilje, the local team awaited Tolmin, and at Kodeljevo, Slovan hosted Krka from Nov mesto.
Sežanci hosted the Primorska derby against Dekani at their stadium, and the visitors were definitely motivated to take points off one of the title contenders. However, the red-and-blacks were more aggressive at the start, and with attacking play, they managed to score the first goal in the 13th minute, when Mauro Gomes Bandeira scored. Before the end of the first half, the hosts doubled their lead, as Stanislav Hristov Petkov scored in the 43rd minute, giving Tabor a relatively comfortable advantage before the break.
In the second half, Dekani managed to respond, and in the 49th minute, they reduced the deficit to 2:1, when Matija Burin put the ball past Žiga Fermišek, giving Dekani hope for at least an equalizer. However, Sežanci were not deterred, and in the 63rd minute, Kamal Bafounta scored to seal the 3:1 victory for Tabor.
Brinje did not play their match in Ivančna Gorica due to bad weather, but the Grosuplje team hosted their opponents on the artificial turf. For Beltinci, this was probably no obstacle, as they have played on such surfaces several times this season. Brinje still tried to continue their positive run, which they indicated through their performance. In the first half, the hosts created somewhat better chances, and in the 34th minute, they took the lead when Ajdin Dergić beat the Prekmurje goalkeeper.
From the 40th minute onward, Beltinci played with one less player after Tian Rantaša was shown a straight red card. The home team’s dominance was evident, and they scored their second and final goal of the match in the 56th minute when Nejc Klašnja added another for Brinje’s victory.
In the far western part of Slovenia, Bilje faced Tolmin. The hosts had a successful start to the season but had seen a dip in form, although they managed to secure a win in their final autumn match against a tough opponent. Tolmin left Bilje defeated, with goals from Thomas Breganti in the 26th and Matic Slavec in the 49th minute. Bilje will thus spend the winter break in 10th place, while Tolmin remains in last place, 16th, in the 2nd SNL standings.
Slovan recently achieved a sensational 5-1 victory over Gorica, which boosted their confidence, and they showed that again in their match against Krka. Novomeščani simply couldn’t find a way to beat the Ljubljana goalkeeper, while Slovan took advantage of two of their chances. Under the guidance of Denis Omeragić, Slovan secured their third league win with goals from Tian Pantelić in the 14th and Aleksa Ristić in the 76th minute, despite a late goal from Nik Kapun for Krka in the 81st minute. They now have 14 points. (vm)
