On Friday, the 2. SNL 2024/25 season kicked off, continuing on Saturday with matches in Prekmurje and Primorska. In Beltinci, the home team hosted Brinje Grosuplje; both clubs were among the top teams in the previous competition year. This time, it looked like a draw was on the cards for a long time, but in the end, Beltinci took advantage of having an extra player and celebrated a 2:1 victory. In front of 800 spectators in Beltinci, the guests took the lead when Josip Zorica, a summer newcomer for Brinje, successfully converted a penalty in the 16th minute. Just two minutes later, Marin Rantaša equalized, and in the 76th minute, another summer newcomer in 2. SNL, Croatian forward Jura Štimac, scored the winning goal for the hosts. It is worth noting that the guests played with one player less from the 67th minute after Kristjan Trdin received his second yellow card and had to leave the field early.
In Dekani, the Prekmurje rivals Jadran and Tabor faced off. Although many would have bet on the victory for the guests from Sežana, it was not to be. The win stayed in Dekani, where the home team, which will evidently be a tough opponent again this season, celebrated a 3:1 victory. In front of 120 spectators in Dekani, those who supported the home team rejoiced in the 2nd minute (Nejc Bračko), the 19th minute (Matija Burin), and the 91st minute (Benjamin Dalipi). The only goal for the Primorska rival was scored by Trojan Maloku in the 14th minute.
In Tolmin, the local second division team hosted Bilje, who played their first match under the guidance of new coach Žiga Pahor. He faced Jani Šturm, who had managed Bilje in the spring. This time, he had to admit defeat to his former club, as the new cornerstone of Tolmin’s defense, Aris Zarifović, and his new teammates lost 0:1. In the match, which was watched by 300 spectators, the decision on the winner came in the 62nd minute. At that moment, Thomas Breganti stepped up and scored his twelfth goal in 2. SNL, securing Bilje’s first win of the new season.
