What Happened
In the fourth round of the Prva Liga Telemach, Brinje Grosuplje earned a 1-1 draw against Bravo at the Stožice stadium. The match saw the top-flight newcomers take an early lead through Maj Rorič, who converted a low strike following an assist from Enej Marsetič.

Brinje Grosuplje nearly doubled their advantage on several occasions. Jakob Brunnhofer blocked a second Rorič attempt on the goal line, while Jasmin Kurtić struck the crossbar with a free kick. The deadlock was broken in the 67th minute when an accidental header from Nal Lan Koren resulted in an own goal, leveling the match for Bravo.
