In the 21st round of the Croatian football league, the derby between Rijeka and Dinamo ended in a goalless draw at Rujevica Stadium. This match was significant as it represented their third encounter in the current season, with Dinamo having previously won the first two matches. Despite both teams showing moments of promise, neither could find the back of the net in this tightly contested match. Rijeka came out strong early on, applying pressure on Dinamo's defense, but the visitors quickly regained control. Dinamo was particularly active in the first half, creating several scoring opportunities, the best of which came when Miha Zajc set up Luka Stojković for a clear chance. Instead of shooting, Stojković’s poor pass to teammate Dion Drena Beljo squandered a prime opportunity, highlighting the lack of precision that plagued both teams. As the game progressed into the second half, the quality of play diminished further, resulting in a lack of clear chances from either side. The final whistle confirmed the 0-0 stalemate, leaving both teams to reflect on missed opportunities and the need for improved offensive strategy in upcoming matches. This match underscored the competitive nature of the Croatian league, where top teams can struggle to secure goals despite their dominant positions.
