and is in the top after six match-days. Then come eight defeats in the next ten match-days: in the first half season Kras scores only 14 points. In the second half, things are no better. The red and white close the regular season in third from bottom, snatching the chance to play for the play-out on the last day. On 13 May at the "Cudiz Stadion" in Corno di Rosazzo the team faces Virtus Corno: Kras must win or are relegated to the Promotion. In the second half Milan Grujić leads his team, but Grion responds to the hosts. In extra time, Damir Hadžić's goal and an own goal allow Kras to remain in Eccellenza. In 2018-2019 the manager Radenko Kneževič is reconfirmed. The team struggles to achieve results, so much so that they find themselves in last place at the end of the first round with 11 points, as Fontanafredda and Lignano. In the second half season, thanks also to the inclusion of three new players - Christian Menichini, Bojan Djukić and Dalibor Radujko - the team begins to move up the rankings, but also thanks to the injury to the bomber Menichini, ends up closing the regular season in fourth from bottom with 31 points. The gap from the third to last, Fontanafredda, however, is only 3 points: they therefore go to the play-out. Sunday 12 May Kras awaits the Rossoneri at Repen's "Sakabar" for the one-off match that is worth staying in Eccellenza. On a practically winter day the red and white lost 2-1 (own goal by Goran Kerpan, momentary equal to Radujko and Rossoneri goal 10 minutes from the end) relegating to Promozione after 10 years between Eccellenza and Serie D.
