Dren Vrhnika and Krško played out a 0:0 draw in the Second SNL's ninth round on Saturday. The result keeps both sides where they are in the table, with the hosts still seven points clear of the visitors. And here's the thing — you'd expect more from a match that promised something.
There was a goal at the 80th minute, according to the match log, but it didn't change the scoreboard. To be fair, that's not unusual in these lower leagues. Referees sometimes rule things out after the whistle, or the ball hits the post and rolls back. By then, both sides are already walking off.
Dren Vrhnika come in seventh with fourteen points from nine games. They've won four, drawn two and lost three. Their last outing was a 5:0 defeat to Jesenice, which stung. Before that, a 2:1 win over Primorje and a 0:0 with Slovenj Gradec.
Krško sit twelfth with nine points. Two wins, three draws, four losses. They beat Bilje 3:1 last time out, but that came after defeats to Ilirija and Krka. They've not been consistent, and neither side showed much today.
The table doesn't move much. Nine points separates them still. Neither manager will be happy, but neither will claim they deserved more. It was a match decided by nothing, and sometimes that's the truth.
