Olimpija Ljubljana Defeat Nafta Lendava 1–0 at Stožice

Olimpija Ljubljana Secure Narrow Victory over Nafta Lendava

Olimpija Ljubljana recorded a 1–0 victory over Nafta Lendava at Stadion Stožice on 21 August 2026, claiming three important points in the sixth round of the PrvaLiga Telemach.

The match was closely contested, with both teams showing strong defensive organisation during the opening stages. Olimpija controlled much of the possession but faced a disciplined Nafta side that limited the number of clear opportunities in front of goal.

Marin Decides the Match

After a goalless first half, the home side continued to search for a breakthrough. Olimpija’s persistence was eventually rewarded in the 79th minute when Antonio Marin found the back of the net to give the hosts a 1–0 lead.

Nafta responded by pushing forward in the closing stages, hoping to find an equaliser. Olimpija, however, remained composed and defended their advantage effectively until the final whistle.

Important Points for the Dragons

The victory represents an important result for Olimpija Ljubljana, who kept a clean sheet and secured their second league win of the season. Nafta Lendava were unable to build on their promising start to the campaign, despite competing strongly throughout the encounter.

With the three points, Olimpija continue their efforts to climb the league table, while both teams now turn their attention to the next round of the Slovenian championship.
