Dekani beat Ilirija 1:0 in the Second Slovenian League on 25 September 2026. The result came in the eighth round of the regular season. It was a narrow victory for the home side, decided by a single goal early in the match.
The only goal came in the eighth minute. Dekani took all three points from a moment that could have been lost. By then, Ilirija had been chasing a result despite their higher league standing.
The table tells the familiar story of uneven expectations. Ilirija sat third with thirteen points from seven games, two more wins than Dekani. The hosts were eleventh with nine points, having secured two victories and three draws.
Recent form adds context to the outcome. Dekani had been difficult to break down, drawing three of their last five matches before this win. Ilirija's record was mixed — they beat Krško 2:0 but lost to Esenice 1:3 in the same period.
The result closed a gap of four points between the sides. Dekani moved closer to Ilirija with a victory that will make life awkward for the visitors going forward.
