NK Tabor Sežana secured a crucial victory on the road, defeating a tough ND Beltinci side 2-1 on October 19th. After a frustrating draw in their previous outing, this was exactly the kind of result the team needed to prove their promotion credentials and inject some momentum back into their campaign.
Here’s how Tabor earned the vital three points away from home in the 2. SNL Round 11.
A Disciplined First Half, Rewarded
The match kicked off with a high level of intensity, but it was Tabor who showed the superior cutting edge in the first half. The breakthrough came in the 24th minute when Federico Rose found the back of the net, giving the visitors a valuable 1-0 lead.
Tabor’s defense then put in a disciplined performance, holding firm against Beltinci’s attempts to equalize, ensuring they carried their narrow advantage into the halftime break.
Korun Strikes to Double the Advantage

In the 58th minute, a well-worked move culminated in Uroš Korun scoring Tabor’s second goal of the afternoon, extending their lead to a commanding 2-0. This goal was a huge relief and gave Tabor a comfortable cushion for the final third of the game.
Beltinci’s Late Rally Falls Short
With the clock ticking down, Beltinci threw everything forward. They managed to pull a goal back in stoppage time, with Nejc Močnik scoring in the 90th+2 minute, but it was too little, too late.
The final whistle blew shortly after, with NK Tabor Sežana celebrating a hard-fought 2-1 victory.
Impact on the Standings
This win was massive for the team’s confidence and their position in the 2. SNL table.
