After a three-month break, the spring part of the season in the 2. SNL also started on Friday. The opening match took place in Novo mesto, where former top-league teams Krka and Triglav faced each other. Considering the standings, Kranjčani were the favorites, but in the end, they suffered a significant defeat. Krka, who revamped their team during the winter, secured a comfortable 3-1 victory.
Krka took the lead against Triglav, led by Croatian coach Toni Golum (not a proud debut in Slovenian football…), in the 38th minute when one of the winter signings, Ismir Nadarević, who played for Ilirija in the fall, scored.
The other three goals were scored in the second half, where Krka was already leading 3-0. Ismir Nadarević found the net again, and Filip Nikola Ostojić, another winter signing for Krka, also contributed to the victory. He previously played for Bilje and was a former Triglav player. The second and third goals were scored in the 50th and 53rd minutes. Triglav managed to score a consolation goal seven minutes before the end (Tilen Rajter Krebs found the net), but it was too late for a comeback. The three points stayed in Novo mesto, where spring seems to be much more enjoyable than the fall.
The 19th round in the 2. SNL will continue on Saturday with matches Jadran Dekani – Ilirija, Bilje – Primorje, Brinje Grosuplje – Tabor (all at 15:00), and Rudar Velenje – Fužinar (17:00). On Sunday, there will be matches Nafta – Gorica (13:00), Tolmin – Beltinci, and Dravinja – Bistrica (both at 15:00).
