What a dominant performance by HNK Rijeka tonight! They absolutely dismantled Dinamo Zagreb 4-0 at Stadion HNK Rijeka, leaving no doubt who the better team was.
Rijeka controlled the game from start to finish, controlling the ball for 55% of the time and outshooting their opponents 14 to 4. They were clinical in front of goal, with four different players finding the back of the net.
The first half was all Rijeka. They scored three times, putting themselves firmly in control. The highlight moments were goals by D. Čop, N. Janković, and D. Petrović.
Dinamo Zagreb seemed to lose their way in the second half, with players clearly getting frustrated. They were caught off guard by Rijeka's quick movement, leading to some crucial missed opportunities for the away side. Their possession was significantly lower, at 45%, and they ended up with a red card in the second half, a turning point of the game. Wilfried Kanga received a red card for a tough tackle around the 37th minute of the match.
Rijeka's tactical approach was clearly working. Their substitutions were well-timed. In the end, Rijeka's superior performance, with their well-drilled attack and tight defense, proved too much for Dinamo Zagreb to overcome. A massive win for Rijeka!
