In the second half of the game, Daniel Woger even scored the next goal in the 37th minute. But Olimpija was unimpressed and finally restored their two-goal lead in the 55th minute through Nik Simsic. Robert Sabolic made it 5-2 with an empty net goal. For Olimpija it was the fifth win in the sixth game of the season. With 14 points they are in second place in the table, one point ahead of Graz.
