Barut opener
Uros Barut put the home side in front just before the break and they went on to extend their lead in the 60th and 90th minutes, thanks to goals from Matej Mlakar and Simon Gregoric respectively.
Late drama
Admir Krstic's 90th-minute strike earned NK Gorica a 2-1 win over NK Zivila Triglav. Nebojsa Kovacevic's first-half goal had been cancelled out in the 73rd minute by Zivila's Saso Kostic. But Krstic denied relegation-threatened Zivila a point with his last-minute intervention.
