Slovenia scored the first goal through striker Milivoje Novaković, who performed a header in the 11th minute after a pass from defender Bojan Jokić. Tim Matavž scored the second in the 65th in his tenth goal for the national line-up.

Despite the absence of some of the key players, Slovenia finally managed to snap the losing streak after four defeats ahead of the resumption of qualifying for the 2014 World Cup, where the team is all but out of the hunt for a berth.

Slovenia are at the bottom of the group E standings with only three points from five matches. They will face Iceland in a return qualifier in Reykjavik on 7 June after losing on home turf 1:2 in March.
