Triglav beat Brežice 4:0 in the third round of the Second Slovenian League on Wednesday afternoon. The home side took all three points from the fixture, extending their unbeaten run to five games while the visitors remain winless after five matches.
Triglav had picked up a win last week against Bistriča 1:0 before that loss to Rudar two days ago, and here they found their rhythm again. To be fair, the visitors were not in the mood for fighting — they have lost four of five and the weight of it shows. By then the pattern was clear enough: home pressure, away retreat.
The scoreboard tells you only so much. They scored four goals without reply, which means they created chances and took them. Brežice have drawn once and lost four — a team that refused to go away and then simply stopped.
Triglav sit tenth with nine points from five games. Brežice are fifteenth with one point, though the table says little about a season just beginning. The gap between them is eight points, and it grows each week.
