Bistrica beat Dren Vrhnika 2-0 in the Second SNL's Regular Season round four on Saturday evening. The hosts went ahead inside the first quarter and never looked back, with two goals in the opening half securing all three points at home.
The first came at the sixteen-minute mark, a moment that set the tone for what followed. And here's the thing — once Bistrica took that lead, Dren Vrhnika never really found their footing. The visitors had tried to build from the back, but the home side pressed with purpose.
The second goal arrived at thirty-three, doubling the advantage before either team had time to settle. To be fair, Dren Vrhnika had shown enough in recent fixtures to suggest they could compete, but by then the momentum had shifted decisively.
The result leaves Bistrica fifth on seven points from four matches, while Dren Vrhnika remain ninth with six points. Both sides have played the same number of games, though the gap between them has grown slightly wider.
Bistrica's recent form has been mixed — a heavy 6-0 defeat to Ilirija sits alongside a comfortable 4-1 win over Bilje. Dren Vrhnika came into this game on a better run, winning their last two against Dravinja and Brezice, but the points streak ended here.
One point now separates the two sides in the table. Bistrica will take confidence from the clean sheet and the fact that they controlled the tempo throughout, while Dren Vrhnika will need to regroup before their next fixture.
