Article body
NK Primorje bounced back from last week's defeat at the hands of NK Dravograd to inflict the same 4-0 scoreline on NK Šmartno today in the 1. SNL.
Easy win
Last year's first division runners-up were 2-0 up inside the opening half hour with strikes from Simon Gregoric and Uros Barut. After the interval Marko Vogric added a third, while Barut grabbed his second of the game, eight minutes from time.
Costly misses
Šmartno had their chances though. Matjaz Stancar missed a 62nd-minute penalty, but all hopes of a fightback evaporated after Nedzad Alibabic was dismissed in the 79th minute.
Korotan win
NK Korotan overcame NK Mura 2-0 with goals from Slaven Bukal and Goran Jolic.
