Albanian midfielder Lindon Salahi pulled parity just a minute into the second half after being set up by Abass.

Robert Muric scored from the spot to put Rijeka ahead in the game for the first time in the 58th minute but the lead was cancelled by a 90th minute goal by Toni Fruk.

Rijeka collected all three points of the match as Domagoj Pavicic scored in the additional minutes to seal the victory.
