What a dominant performance from HNK Rijeka tonight! They completely outplayed HNK Gorica in a hard-fought encounter, running out 2-0 winners.
Rijeka took a firm grip on the game with their impressive ball possession, holding 54%. They racked up 20 shots with 9 of them hitting the target. Their attacking play was very structured and they capitalized on their chances.
The most exciting moments came in the final stages of the match. First, a well-worked goal by A. Liber in the 85th minute, set up by A. Marin. And then another crucial goal in the 53rd minute. A penalty by A. Marin showcased a well-executed strategy.
Gorica, despite some early attacking, struggled to penetrate Rijeka's defense. They had 13 shots, but only a few were on goal. They seemed to rely heavily on quick substitutions toward the latter part of the game.
Rijeka clearly came to play with a strategy focused on controlling the game, whereas Gorica seemed to be more reactive. This match really highlighted the difference in approach between the teams.
