Rijeka showed their might tonight, smashing Gorica 2-0 in a hard-fought match at ŠRC Velika Gorica. Rijeka dominated possession, holding 56% of the ball, and out-shot Gorica 16 to 8.
While Gorica put up a valiant fight, Rijeka's two well-executed penalty kicks in the second half were the difference-makers, scored by Jorge Obregón.
The match had several exciting moments. The first half saw a few heated exchanges, but nothing substantial. Rijeka, despite their possession advantage, struggled to break through Gorica's defense in the first half. The second half was much more dramatic as the tension built as the two teams traded substitutions.
Rijeka seemed to have a clear strategy of controlling the midfield and using their faster players to exploit space on the flanks, while Gorica opted for a more compact defensive approach, focusing on preventing clear-cut chances.
It was a game of inches, but Rijeka's sharper finishing proved decisive. A solid performance from Rijeka, a tough night for Gorica.
