Korotan stay up
Marko Kmetec was the difference between the teams at the Korotan stadium, although the home side would have stayed up regardless as second-bottom NK Zivila Triglav lost. They went down 3-0 at home to NK Mura to finish five points behind Korotan. Goran Reljc's hat-trick inflicted the damage.
Gorica take fourth place
NK Gorica beat NK Olimpija Ljubljana 2-1 to leapfrog the visitors and claim fourth place. Matej Mavric's 25th-minute strike and an own goal by Matej Snofl gave Gorica a half-time lead at Športni Park which they held on to despite Vladimir Kokol's reply for Olimpija.
Rudar sign off in style
NK Rudar Velenje ended their campaign with a 2-1 success against relegated NK Domzale. Alen Mujanovic scored twice at the Ob Jezeru stadium before Goran Lazarevic grabbed a consolation for the bottom club.
All to play for
Tomorrow's game between leaders NK Maribor and second-placed NK Primorje in Maribor will decide the destination of the 1. SNL title. Three points currently separate first from second. Completing the fixture list is the match between NK Publikum and NK Koper.
