Gorica 1-2 Rudeš result, stats and report

Rudeš looked to be heading for a hard-earned point after Ilija Nestorovski's second-half brace, but Marko Zebic equalised deep into stoppage time to snatch a 2-2 draw for Slaven Koprivnica in a bad-tempered Croatian 1. HNL clash.

Gorica snatched a dramatic 2-2 draw against Varaždin in the Croatian 1. HNL, with Ivan Cvijanovic heading into stoppage time to deny the visitors all three points despite Varaždin controlling large portions of the match.

Emil Frederiksen scored all three goals for Istra 1961 as they beat Rudeš 3-2 in the Croatian 1. HNL, but a nervy finale showed exactly why this side cannot afford to switch off. Rudeš made them pay in the closing minutes and nearly nicked a point they had no business taking.

Varaždin were beaten 2-0 at home by Rudeš in the Croatian 1. HNL, with goals from Aleksa Latkovic and Ivan Canjuga exposing a home side that simply could not compete where it mattered.

Dion Beljo's 28th-minute finish was enough to hand Gorica a shock 1-0 victory over Dinamo Zagreb in the Croatian 1. HNL, with the visitors thoroughly outplaying the hosts across nearly every department. Dinamo created chances but wasted three big opportunities, and that lack of accountability in front of goal cost them dearly.

Osijek host a Gorica side that has not won in five matches, and the evidence suggests this could be a long afternoon for the visitors. Connor Maguire has the numbers, the context, and one clear conclusion.

Rudeš have conceded 14 goals in their last five Croatian 1. HNL matches and kept zero clean sheets. Rijeka have already beaten them once this season. This should be straightforward.
