A thrilling encounter at Gradski Stadion saw Slaven Belupo and Istra 1961 locked in a hard-fought 1-1 draw!
The game was a real back-and-forth affair. Istra actually took the lead early in the match, with a beautiful strike by Dario Marešić. Slaven Belupo, however, fought back with impressive determination. They eventually equalized in the second half, thanks to a goal by Ivan Lepinjica, a well-taken strike, making for a tense final period of play.
Both teams played some impressive football. Slaven Belupo held 56% possession and had a higher shot count, with 13 shots overall, including 5 on target compared to Istra's 7 shots in total. Istra had a solid start, but Slaven Belupo's resilience throughout the game ultimately helped them earn a point.
The most exciting moment, arguably, was Slaven Belupo's comeback. The substitutions in the final stages added to the intensity, with several changes for both teams influencing the game in the last stretch of the match.
Slaven Belupo looked to dominate possession and control the midfield, while Istra 1961 seemed to rely more on quick counter-attacks and individual brilliance.
