Dekani secured a 2-1 victory over Krka in the Second Slovenian League's seventh round on September 20th. The away side took all three points from a match where momentum shifted decisively in the second half. Both teams entered the fixture sitting in the middle of the table, though neither was particularly comfortable in their position.
Krka started with home advantage and looked the more threatening side early on. They took the lead in the 39th minute when a goal broke through. To be fair, Dekani responded quickly, and by the 44th minute they had levelled the score. The first half ended level, but the second half told a different story.
The turning point came in the 85th minute when Dekani found a way through. That late goal proved expensive for the home side, and the incident went to review in terms of what it meant for both clubs' ambitions. Krka had been the better side for most of the game, but things came to a head when they least expected it.
After six games, Krka remain in 11th place with seven points from two wins, one draw and three defeats. Dekani sit one place lower in 13th, with six points from a single victory and three draws. The gap between them remains narrow, though the result means Dekani have now matched Krka's points total.
Krka's recent form has been uneven. They won their last two matches against Krško and Jesenice, but those victories were preceded by two heavy defeats to Primorje and Ljubljana Slavija. Dekani, meanwhile, have drawn three of their last four games, including a goalless stalemate with Beltinci on September 13th.
