On Sunday, the last two matches of the 5th round in the second division competition were played. In Ljubljana, Ilirija hosted Biljence, while in Prekmurje, we saw a coaching duel between brothers – Damjan and Saša Gajser faced off.
Ilirija has yet to record a win this season, and in today’s match, the Ljubljanans hosted the challenging black-and-whites from Bilje, who had recorded three wins and one loss in their four games. At the Ilirija stadium, spectators did not see many goals. In the first half, both teams had a few chances, but it was not enough for either team to score, and after 45 minutes, the score was 0-0.
The home team started the second half more promisingly, and their slightly more concrete play was rewarded with a goal in the 54th minute. Ilirija has squandered a lead twice this season, not just by one goal, but by two. The Šiškarji did not want to let that happen again and aimed to maintain their minimal lead, which they ultimately did. The home team scored again in the 94th minute and finally celebrated their first win. The match ended 2-0 in favor of Ilirija, which climbed from the last, 16th place to 10th place in the 2nd SNL standings.
In the Beltinci forest, the home Yellow team was chasing their third win against Drava from Ptuj. In their last match, they drew, and the one before that was a home loss to Triglav, so today’s motivation for a win was even higher, as Prekmurci aim for the top. The match between Beltinci and Drava was also interesting because it featured the first coaching duel between brothers who lead their clubs as head coaches. Damjan and Saša Gajser faced each other.
The home team started the game better. Damjan Gajser’s players displayed aggressive and attacking play from the early minutes, leading to their first goal in the 10th minute when Niko Kasalo scored after a pass from Stjepan Oštrek. Kasalo doubled Beltinci’s lead in the 34th minute and took his team into the break with a two-goal advantage. In the second half, Ptujčani failed to threaten Stefan Močić’s goal, while the Yellow team took another chance, with Divine Igwe Ikenna scoring in the 55th minute. This goal set the final score at 3-0 for Beltinci.
