Tabor Sezana edge past Krka in tight second-division affair
Tabor Sezana beat Krka 2-1 in the Second SNL at home on 3 October, moving them further clear at the top of the table. The hosts led after half an hour when a goal in the 36th minute gave them a cushion, though Krka equalised soon after with a strike in the 57th minute.
By then the momentum had shifted back toward the home side, who snatched a late winner in the 90th minute plus four. The three goals came in a tightly contested match where neither side dominated possession for long stretches, and the decisive moment arrived when the visiting defence was caught napping on the counter-attack.
With the result, Sezana extend their lead at the summit to twelve points over their nearest rivals, having played the same number of games. Krka remain rooted to 14th place with seven points from eight rounds, a gap that now looks increasingly difficult to bridge with the season running out.
The hosts arrive at this fixture having won six of their eight games so far, a record that includes a narrow 1-0 victory over Bistrica last weekend after a heavy 5-1 defeat to Beltinci had raised questions about their consistency. Krka, meanwhile, have won just twice in the same period and lost five, including a 3-0 thrashing by Beltinci on their most recent outing.
What this means for the standings is straightforward: Sezana add three more points to their tally and push their goal difference further into the positive, while Krka's season continues to drift toward the lower reaches of the table. The visitors have now lost five of eight games and are running out of games to salvage their campaign.
