The final whistle blew at Stadion Maksimir, signaling a resounding 2-0 victory for Dinamo Zagreb over HNK Rijeka. It was a dominant display from the hosts.
Dinamo Zagreb controlled possession, boasting a significant 62% of the ball. They also outshot Rijeka 15 to 6, with 5 shots on target to Rijeka's 1. The home side demonstrated clinical finishing, scoring two goals in the first half.
The first goal, a strike by Oršić, followed by Ademi’s goal in the 22nd minute, effectively sealed the win early. While Rijeka had a few moments where they challenged Zagreb, they lacked the final spark to penetrate the solid defense. Interestingly, both sides made several substitutions as the game progressed, which hinted at tactical adjustments and substitutions by both managers.
It was a clear demonstration of Dinamo's tactical approach, focusing on controlling the midfield and applying pressure throughout the game. Rijeka, despite some early promise, struggled to match Dinamo's intensity and effectiveness. In the end, Dinamo's experience and dominance shone through.
