Sturm Graz vs Celje 2-3

Celje won 3-2 in Graz after holding off Sturm Graz's late push, and Oumar Diakité's stoppage-time second for the hosts came too late to change the result.

Celje made two changes on 58 minutes, with Verbič and Papa Daniel both going off, then added a third goal in the 73rd minute when Seslar scored his second of the match. Sturm Graz kept pressing and were rewarded in the 90+3rd minute, when Diakité scored his second of the match from Gizo Mamageishvili's assist after the substitute had come on in the 85th minute, but Celje saw out the closing stages to keep the lead.
