Tabor Sezana saw off Dravinja 5-1 in the Second SNL's sixth round on Thursday evening. The result extends the home side's unbeaten start to the campaign while leaving the visitors rooted to the bottom of the table. By then, the pattern of the game was already clear.
Tabor Sezana struck first, finding the net in the opening minute. Dravinja had little time to settle before the hosts doubled their advantage twelve minutes in. And here's the thing about matches like this — once you concede twice in the first quarter, the rest tends to follow a familiar script.
The fourth-minute goal came at 40, then the hosts added a fifth at 53. To be fair, Dravinja did pull one back in the sixty-first minute, but the damage had been done. The away side's clean-sheet run came to an end after just one game without conceding.
What stands out is not the scoreline itself but the rhythm. Tabor Sezana have now won four of five league games this season. Dravinja, meanwhile, remain winless away from home and have lost four of their last five across all competitions.
The visitors' recent form tells its own story. After a draw with Brežice on 5 September, they have not tasted victory since. A 1-4 defeat at Triglav followed, then losses to Dren Vrhnika, Bile and Ilirija.
Tabor Sezana's position at the top of the table is built on consistency rather than flash. They beat Krško 6-0 on 23 August, kept clean sheets against Triglav and Jezersko, and drew 0-0 with Dekani in their most recent outing. Dravinja's seven-point gap from safety after six rounds is already significant.
