As expected, Dinamo took care of business Thursday night against Rapid Wien.
Rapid’s Christoph Knasmüller opened the scoreline in the eighth minute which was yet another avoidable goal conceded by Dinamo this season. Although Dinamo found themselves behind quickly, Bruno Petković answered in the 12th minute with a fantastic header off a world class run and cross by Mislav Oršić.
After that, everything went Dinamo’s way.
Komnen Andrić added another goal to the scoreboard for Dinamo in the 34th minute of the match, a tidy finish off a cross from Bartol Franjić. After a strong defensive performance following the opening goal, Dinamo sealed the deal in the 83rd minute, thanks to a headed goal from 21 year-old Josip Šutalo, assisted by 20 year-old Marko Bulat. Bulat continues to shine for Dinamo off the bench this season, as his assist came only four minutes after he was subbed on for Komnen Andrić in the 79th minute.
Mislav Oršić, Bruno Petković, and Bartol Franjić were Dinamo’s best performers on Thursday. Luka Ivanušec struggled on the right wing, and Kevin Theophile-Catherine put up another shaky performance. Although Livaković avoided conceding any blunder goals, he looked quite nervous inside the box. Don’t be surpised if Ivo Grbić defends Croatia’s net against Malta on November 11th.
Thanks to Thursday night’s victory, Dinamo now has sole possession of second place in Group H of the Europa League. A victory against Genk on November 25th will almost guarantee Dinamo a second place finish.

This dude could be a resource as well .. oh wait ..
Work that out and have my main man robo Rebić for some minutes vs Malta and Russia.
ZDS
All under the flag
The Power of God need to be summoned for the rest of our 2 games here _
shit happens when All of non – believers and stupid managers who in charge!
then Karma will hit back to us |)_I)
Maminjo…I’m not racist, I have color tv ! And FYI I didn’t know he was a serb but not that I do, I see your point and furthermore… I know why he sucks!
Za Dom Spremni
That’s good to hear.
We can’t discriminate against Serbs due to their inability to play football. We have to be accepting as a society.
Good fences make good Neighbors. We should never allow the Serb population to reach double digits in our country.
Nations league-(friendlies new format) doesn’t count Bruno – euro and world cup against the big nations he is not good enough period. Not that we have much more choices at the moment. Dalic plays krama out of his hoffenheim position always which is why he has something like 1 goal in 13 games this year
By the way anyone know what’s up with andrics back (hunchback of notre dame) guy either only works out his traps at the gym or high rows for upper back but he’s got some weird posture. As long as he’s putting goals in I guess no worries
All Serbs have that hunchback of Notre Dame look to them.
Stop being racist.
Petkovic can’t score against good defending nations. Nice pass and open header against the most losing team in Europa league/uefa cup history (Rapid Vienna). He is not our answer. He plays for dinamo for a reason (European feeder team) and not a champions league club or team in a top league. GeeZ- need I say more – period.
He will never score for us against the top nations in the world unless the opposing defender completely misreads/misjudged/mistimes the play
Maminjo, this comment is for you dude!
We’ve discussed Petkovic soo many times that the conversation has become boring, so I’ll get to the point. You’ve constantly discussed his talents and positive’s…and we have all seen him play and single-handedly destroy many of his opponents but he’s also been EXTREMELY lazy, lackadaisical and even looks disinterested at times. Its impossible to rely on someone that you never know if he will give you his BEST EFFORT…I mean come on…effort?!
“Mogli bismo reći da smo pogodili. U najavi utakmice kao jedan od razloga Dinamova optimizma uoči Rapida istaknuli smo Petkovića. Činjenicu da je zdrav i spreman i da je, kad je pravi, sigurno velika Dinamova snaga. Tako je i bilo. Ali, trebamo priznati, znali smo i ranije istaknuti Petkovića u istom kontekstu pa nije uvijek bio ‘pogodak’. Jednostavno, takav je, svi znaju što može, svi znaju da će jednom to i pokazati, samo je pitanje kad.”
“kad”!!!!
these are the types of situations I feel are overlooked. If anyone has played any sport at a high enough level, you must realize its paralyzing to your team when you see your teammate simply “not give a fuck”…and then, he can destroy the best team on his own!
We want the BEST Petkovic on the National Team. Many people blame Dalic for not calling Petkovic…but go back to Bjelica, tehn Mamic and now Krznar and see how many times he’s pissed off his coaches because a lack of effort, I don’t blame them at all…you can’t trust he will give you his all.
I say this as a huge fan of his but I have to be honest and unbiased…Petkovic is just not reliable for now!
So…you’re saying that you apologize for questioning the might Bruno and that you want him to replace Vlasic as our #10 behind Kramaric for the next game?
Hmmm, interesting suggestion Slavonac.
You always did say that we go as Petkovic goes! 🙂
He’s a great player but 1 out of every 5 or 6 games. I say this as a Dinamo and Petkovic fan.
another fiasco with Pograncic.
first, his previous club got very pissed off at him because he was caught numerous times breaking curfew and partying…he then got sick and was still seen out. Now, he tells the world that Haaland will be out 8 weeks and yet the club was hiding that information.
there’s more to a player than his playing abilities. This is why Balotelli, Cassano, Eden Hazard….are all disliked by their teammates and many fans. players need to learn to conduct themselves as a professional and Pograncic is on his second German club and now might be disciplined again.
Another fiasco?
This the first time I’m ever hearing of Pongracic being an issue for his club or coach.
He got sick with mono and Covid last year, yea, but I never heard that it was from breaking curfew or partying. Even if he was, I’m sure all players went out (and it wasn’t him alone).
Also, how did he tell the world about Haaland?
Was it with malicious intent? or did he just tell someone and then it blew up?
it was on Sportske Novosti this morning. He was discussing how poorly he felt his previous club treated him and then talked about the Haaland injury as well.

Ah. Oh well.
Still an awesome player worthy of starting for us.
Livakovic just needs the D to play a high levels if we rely on him to save us we are fucked. Sports that have good goalkeeping hockey handball and football teams average teams can go long way.
If we look at what good goalkeeping gets us 1998 Ladic was a wall 3rd place.
2018 suba had a great inform d didnt really make any saves that wowed us except the penalties. But he was comading at the back very vocal.
Livi looks like he walked in on his grandparents doggy styling hahaha.
Cant wait for malta game then if croatia not fuck up 32000 crowd poljud yes the old ultra atmosphere doesnt exist anymore but a backed house is still packed house.
Ladic was “ok” at the 98 world cup but trust me, he gave us all heart attacks in the qualifying rounds…Ladic was not that great…average.
The stress we feel about Livakovic should be an easy decision from Dalic. Even Dalic admitted Liva is way out of form and its his job to replace him with a better option.
Can’t forget that heartbreaking 2-2 with the serbs in 99 and the disaster of a game Ladic had.
I remember watching that game in a packed bar in Oakville.
All the questions don’t matter. Luka as always will be the difference
How would petkovic be behind krama now that he seems to have found his new spot
I realize putting Perisic on the right makes him less dynamic but then you can get orsic sosa on left juranovic Perisic on right
Overall I like those four players on the pitch at once
Ya I know it doesn’t work like this but we could look a lot worse
Ivanusec not cementing his job at all
No gods of halilovic’s coming either it seems;)
Livakovic still scares the shit out of me…
Didn’t watch this one but sounds like orsic did well
For the life of me I can’t figure out why he doesn’t play more for us
Tell me who on the repka has scored a hatrick against Tottenham and I believe it was Atalanta in big competition
I realize he can be a bit streaky
But guy is the goods
How has he not been sold the last couple of years?
Is there something we don’t know
I know he is aging but seems to have strong fitness
He plays Perisic’s position.
He has the bad luck of being a great left winger on a team with one of the world’s very best left-sided players period in Perisić. Orsić has to come off the bench unless Perisić is unavailable, or he can prove himself an option at center forward…
Ivanusec the worst player for Dinamo. Petkovic for me was the best player, cannot understand why Dalic did not have him on the standby list for the upcoming qualifiers. Would have been a better replacement for injured Brekalo than Colak.
He might Mart. Dalic must have been watching, if not he’s not doing his job FFS. I predict petkovic will be there
I think he and Colak are about similar quality, and they both suffer from the same problem: they are too slow to beat top-tier defenders. Colak led the HNL in goals in 2019-20. He scores a lot in Sweden too. But watching him against Chelsea the other day, he doesn’t stand a chance on through balls against those defenders. He’s good in the air, good with the ball, has a good shot and shooting reflexes… But too slow. We saw Petković suffer from a similar problem at the Euros. He’s excellent when he gets the ball, but he can’t keep pace with his repka teammates on counterattacks, and he isn’t going to beat any defenders to a through ball. Ivanusec also has looked too slow to me when he’s been with the repka.
livakovic almost got exposed again on a set piece right before half. petkovic has so much talent, amazing dribbling and ball control, too bad his fitness is shit. i dont like ivanusec, wasteful as usual, poor decision making. orsic is a beast, if we dont do a 3 in the back formation, then orsic needs to start for us on the wing, and who cares if he doesnt play on the left, hes right footed anyways, hes insanely fast and amazing crosses. second best winger we have.
DCC, barisic, jakic, and Basic starting. Juranovic own goal. jedvaj is apparently playing well for lokomotiv.
Petkovic is actually impressive as playmaker behind the deepest striker Komen Andric. An superb pre assist and one goal so far.
Gojak & Orsic are playing great too.
Livakovic once again lost at a free kick. But who should Dalic start as goalie. Grbic not impressive at Lille, Ivusic out due an injury, Kalinic is always a risk.
How is Grbic not impressive? Have you watched him? I’ve found him very solid, makes very few mistakes.
Grbić is impressive for sure. He’s just young! But he’s a great athlete, makes some top saves, and defends corners pretty well
Livakovic looks completely lost out there. A ball was just lobbed into the box and was in the air forever, and he comes out half ass and stops, allowing the Vienna player to get a clear head to it. Luckily went wide. But make up your damn mind already. He’s so indecisive and lacks any command of his box right now. Dalic can’t start him these next 2 games. Hard to watch
Orsic best player on field period
Livakovic cant save a zicer point blank for his life thats whats missing from all our keepers not reactions it as gonna hurt us keeper needs to make save when you dont expect him to
Dinamos garbage in Europe this year-defense is horrible and livakovic ain’t good either – already down 1-0
Vlasić not even in the squad for West Ham today… Big matchup of the Croatian Sensations today with Brondby v Rangers: Radosević v Barisić
Apparently he is injured.
Hope it’s not too serious.
Nikola Vlasic with a head injury. Nothing serious. He’ll be available for the games against Malta & Russia.
Kovacic & Brekalo are officially ruled out for those games. They’re being replaced by Colak and Sucic.
