Match Overview

NK Brinje Grosuplje kicked off their 2026–27 Slovenia 1.Liga campaign with a confident away victory at Radomlje, winning 2–0 at the Radomlje Sports Park. The visitors, promoted last season, showed no signs of stage fright as they controlled large spells of the opening fixture.

First Half: Brinje Break Through

The match started cautiously, with both sides feeling each other out. Radomlje, a mid-table side last term, struggled to create clear chances. In the 33rd minute, Brinje's creative midfielder Luka Volarić delivered a precise through ball to striker Nejc Kastelic, who slotted calmly past goalkeeper Luka Pišek for the opener. The goal gave the visitors a deserved lead after a period of sustained pressure.

Second Half: Visitors Double the Lead

Radomlje pushed for an equalizer after the break, but Brinje's defence, marshalled by captain Jaka Abraham, held firm. In the 71st minute, a quick counter-attack saw winger Marko Vukčević cut inside and fire a low drive that Pišek could only parry into the path of substitute Anže Pirc, who tapped in from close range. The 2–0 scoreline reflected Brinje's efficiency on the break.
