**Final Report:**
**Headline:** Slovan Ljubljana edge Ilirija in tight Second Snl encounter
**Body:**
Slovan Ljubljana secured a narrow 2:1 victory over Ilirija at home in the fourth round of the Second Slovenian League on Friday. The result keeps both sides level on nine points after four matches, though the visitors dropped a place in the table.
Magister opened the scoring in the eighth minute before Dzajic levelled for Ilirija ten minutes later. Grlic's strike in the 37th minute gave Slovan the lead they held until the final whistle, and here's the thing — all three goals arrived in the first half.
Slovan remain third on nine points following the win, while Ilirija slip to fourth after their first defeat of the campaign. Both teams had identical records before this match: three wins from four games with a single loss each.
The hosts have won two of their last three league outings, bouncing back from a heavy 3:0 defeat to Dekani. Ilirija came into the fixture having won three consecutive matches, including a 6:0 hammering of Bistrica.
The result leaves Slovan in a strong position to challenge for promotion from the second tier. Ilirija will need to respond quickly if they want to stay in touch with the leaders.
