In 58’ Sesko’s right-footed shot on which è Rajkovic’s corner deflection was providential. At 69’ Slovenia took the lead: Karnicnik collected a low cross from the left by Elsnik at the second post and although hitting rather badly è close enough to the goal to still manage to put it in the net.

Karnicnik è then decisive at 72’ to deflect over the crossbar a right-footed shot by Mitrovic just a paso from the goal. At 79’ Karnicnik, again him, tries a low right, out not far at the far post.
