It’s hard to believe, but true – Tabor played in the Prva liga Telemach just last year, yet it waited an incredible 497 days for a league victory in Sežana. After defeating the opponent from Radomlje on October 29, 2022, in the border town, Tabor went on to endure 19 home league games without a win over the next 16 months! On Saturday, one of the longest streaks in the history of Slovenian football finally came to an end. The former top-tier team celebrated again in Sežana, where they beat Bilje 3-1.
Just like in the first match of this year, foreign players dominated Tabor’s lineup in the second match as well. Nine of them were in the starting eleven, including Caleb Chukwuemeka, who was a major hero in the Primorska derby. The Englishman with an Austrian passport has been honing his skills, even at Aston Villa, and in many respects, he seems “too big” for playing in the 2nd SNL. Nevertheless, he came to the aid of Sežana and scored two goals in just his second match in Slovenia.
The credit for bringing several quality players to Tabor in winter primarily goes to Lyndon Tomlinson, who once worked at Manchester United and Manchester City and now serves as the sporting director in Sežana. In the winter, he brought many new faces to Tabor, and whether this will be enough to secure a place in the 2nd SNL will undoubtedly be interesting to see.
This only second (!) victory in the current season should give the red and blacks an additional boost. However, it’s true that second-to-last Ilirija still has a five-point advantage with one game less, and fourteenth-placed Fužinar also has a six-point lead with one game less. Therefore, the Primorska club will need quite a few more good results…
