Rudar out of luck
Patrik Ipavec's 26th-minute strike gave Koper an interval lead which he doubled with a header from Saudin Husejnovic's centre 17 minutes from time. Rudar were given hope when Zeljko Spasojevic pulled a goal back but any chance of a fightback was dispelled by Husejnovic's volley from a Vili Becaj cross on 77 minutes.
Mura leapfrog Publikum
NK Mura overtook mid-table rivals NK Publikum after beating them 2-0 at the Fazanerija stadium in Murska Sobota. Alan Mesaric created the first goal for Mitja Brulc on 14 minutes but the game had to wait till just after the hour for the decider - Sebastijan Vogrincic breaking through to set up the Argentinian Diego Romero.
