League Play-Off

Dornava Park
Spectators: 39 (Terracing: 30, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Lan Škrgić started the match with the kick off. After 3 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Dornava! Jovan Šmit showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Boris Kokotović, who was totally free with the ball in the 21st minute. In the 25th minute the ball was on its way in behind Skofja Loka ND's goalkeeper Mavricijo Repič, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The crowd rose to their feet as Dornava's Lan Škrgić slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Mavricijo Repič. That made the score 1-1 after 31 minutes of play. If Lan Škrgić had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Jovan Šmit stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Adalbert CilenÅ¡ek's shot from short distance in the 41st minute. Jovan Šmit took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Adalbert CilenÅ¡ek, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Dzenan Tavčar charged in rather forcefully in the 43rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Dzenan Tavčar the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 44 played minutes Dornava got a freekick which was hit by Dzenan Tavčar. Boris Kokotović scored 1-2 in the 49th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Jovan Šmit, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Disappointed in the 1-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Boris Kokotović was the one to do the kick off. Radivoj Evačič's late challenge caught a Skofja Loka ND's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Radivoj Evačič helped the player get up and apologised. Boris Kokotović fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 65th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Jovan Šmit having to interfere. A collision led to Dornava getting a freekick after 66 minutes play. Tony Kranjčević hit a great ball. Skofja Loka ND's Mavricijo Repič played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Lan Škrgić in the 72nd minute of play. 73 minutes in the game, Boris Kokotović fired away an excellent shot, which passed to the side of the right post without Jovan Šmit having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Dornava's Dzenan Tavčar got a free kick in the 74th minute. 75 minutes into the game, Boris Kokotović cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-3. Jovan Šmit was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. An unexpectedly hard shot by Lan Škrgić in the 83rd minute of play forced Skofja Loka ND's goalkeeper Mavricijo Repič to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Lan Škrgić received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 85th minute. Mavricijo Repič tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Mavricijo Repič took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Lan Škrgić, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When Boris Kokotović got free in front of the goal in the 94th minute he wasn't very focused and chipped the ball just over the goal. Jovan Šmit was delighted since he was out of position and the ball would have got in if it had gone under the crossbar. Dornava's Jovan Šmit proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 98th minute of the match, managed to save Dornava from getting a goal against them.
