In the 2. SNL, the opening match of the 7th round took place in Ivančna Gorica, where NK Brinje Grosuplje, currently “homeless” due to renovations of their sports park, hosted the leaders Tabor. The visitors were on a great path to another victory, leading Sežanci by 2:0 in Dolenjska. However, they could not maintain their advantage, ultimately settling for a draw at 2:2.
About 150 spectators watched this clash of clubs that are likely to compete for the top of the 2. SNL standings this season. Both of Tabor’s goals came in the first half, with Nikolaj Zlatev scoring in the 28th minute, followed by Dino Stančič finding the net eight minutes later for his third goal of the season.
Although the home side seemed to be in a lost position, they refused to give up, and the story changed in the second half. NK Brinje Grosuplje halved Tabor’s lead in the 61st minute with a goal from Josip Marinić, and then Josip Zorica equalized from the penalty spot seven minutes before the end. The score remained unchanged until the final whistle, ending at 2:2.
Tabor continues to lead the standings but has only a two-point cushion over Aluminij, Jadran, and Gorica, having played one more match. NK Brinje Grosuplje is in fifth place, three points behind their recent opponent. On Saturday, the following matches are scheduled in the 2. SNL: Rudar Velenje – Drava, Aluminij – Jadran, Ilirija – Tolmin (all at 16:00), Gorica – Krka (16:15), and Triglav – Bistrica (17:30). The round will conclude on Sunday with matches Beltinci – Bilje and Dravinja – Slovan (both at 16:00).
