The derby match of the 21st round of the Croatian football championship between Rijeka and Dinamo finished without a winner or goals, ending in a 0-0 draw. This encounter was their third meeting of the season, with Dinamo previously winning the first two matches. Despite a strong first half from Dinamo, the team's efforts were thwarted by Rijeka's solid defense. Rijeka started the game energetically, putting early pressure on Dinamo, but the latter quickly took control, creating several scoring opportunities. The best chance for Dinamo came in the 15th minute when Miha Zajc executed a brilliant long pass to Luka Stojković, who was one-on-one with goalkeeper Martin Zlomislić but squandered the chance by opting to pass instead of shooting. The second half saw even fewer chances as both teams struggled to convert what few opportunities they had, leading the match to conclude with no goals scored. Fans were left disappointed by the lack of action, especially given the high stakes of a derby match, which suggests a need for improvement from both squads going forward in the season.
