NK Osijek fought off Dinamo for an important draw that kept Osijek at the top of the table.
An attendance of 5,000 saw Tomislav Radotić score in the 11th minute for Osijek, but the lead was short lived thanks for a 15th minute goal from Soudani.
The two goals came only minutes apart, but were the only goals scored in Osijek this weekend.
The teams split the points and Osijek remain on top while Dinamo is left searching for their first win and sit in sixth place.
Hajduk Split is also still in search of their first win after drawing crosstown rivals, RNK Split.
The two teams finished the match with a scoreless draw in front of 12,000 at Poljud, but neither team were able to produce the needed offense to score.
The first half was played mainly in the middle of the field and lacked any sort of scoring opportunities.
The second half saw more scoring opportunities, but none were able find the back of the net.
The match featuring Rijeka and Slaven Belupo turned into a scoring frenzy that ended with six goals scored from four different goal scorers.
Slaven went up 1-0 after Muzafer Ejuip scored in the ninth minute but the match was tied after Roman Bezjak scored in first half stoppage time.
Ejupi found the back of the net once again in the 48th minute for regain the lead, but for a second time, his goal was countered by Rijeka tying the match, this time from a goal scored by Bekim Balaj in the 67th minute.
The real excitement started when Bezjak scored again in the 82nd minute and looked like Rijeka will be taking the match, but a last ditch effort by Slaven was rewarded with a goal in the 89th minute by Sandi Križman.
Lokomotiva put on a scoring clinic against Istra on Monday, scoring six goals from five different goal scorers.
The Lokosi are still riding their high after defeating Greece’s PAOK in the Europa League last week and gave Istra all they had, and won the match 6-1.
Goals from Ivan Fiolić, Karlo Brucić, Marko Kolar, Jan Doležal, and two from Damir Sovšić entertained the 500 fans at Kranjčevićeva.
Lokomotiva and Istra are tied on points but sit in third and fourth place respectively.
NK Inter Zaprešić and NK Zagreb played to a close 1-1 draw this weekend.
Lovro Medić scored first for the Poets in the 30th minute, but Inter, who have shown their resiliency several times so far in this young season, scored in the 77th minute to salvage a point.
Inter’s goal came from the young Macedonian, Ilija Nestorovski.
Nestorovski was the top scorer in the Druga Liga last season, scoring 24 goals in 27 matches.
It was you saying you’d reveal who you are if Cilic won a grand slam i take it ?
What was the whole Cilic grand slam thing??????/
Ziva is a bitch say I!
What are the better odds:
A. Ziva going more than 24 hours without posting odds on something that cuts down other hrvati, especially diaspora hrvati
B. Ziva promising something that he won’t deliver ie. the whole Cilic grand slam and his identity thing
C. Ziva watching Fox News and concluding that it is not an actual news channel
D. Ziva not typing any of the following words for one whole day: diaspora, jock sniffer, STD or puppet
E. Ziva showing relief or happiness for something good that happens to Croatia instead of hoping for a lesson to be learned or a sacrifice for the future good
What say you?
Ziva,
@Ante B……
Me personally, I don’t do stupid things to put myself in a questionable situation.”
I tend to subscribe to the “kud idijoti, tu i ja” motto. It’s a lot funner.
I saw the video footage of the two suspected guys leaving the Poljud and if I didn’t know better, I would swear that one of them was Živa and some clown.
He must be visiting relatives in Biježigrad and made the drive up to Split. 🙂
What are the better odds:
A. Poljud getting a game during WC qualifying
B. Severina not banging a serb
C. Diaspora hrvati learning the language
D. STD Corluka going disease free for 6 months
E. Luka Modric standing up to Mamic
What say you?????
@Peter,
I think you’re right.
@ Dennis..I don’t think WC Qualifier game is behind closed doors.
“The HNS has also been ordered to play its next two home matches in UEFA competition behind closed doors..”
It’s for a UEFA competition. WC Qualifiers are FIFA. So it is probably for the next cycle of EURO Qualifying.
“My predication for tomorrow..
-3 points
200,000 Euro fine
Last home game behind closed doors.
I think the point deduction will be somewhere between 3 and 6. I would be shocked if it was anything more or less. Also, I would be super shocked if they threw us out.”
I am shocked at -1 point. I thought UEFA would make a stand and give us at least 3 points. Then all this talk in the croatian media of “UEFA will come down hard on us and make an example of us” talk.
I’m happy with the verdict, we should top the group and at worst get a #2 seed for the draw.
Here is where it gets tricky. We play our next home game behind closed doors. How will that affect the WC qualifying schedule? Every team in our group will want that game against us. WC groups are announced on Saturday.
I’m not defending Mexico. Personally, I don’t care how their fans act. I only care about our image. Are there double standars? Sure. But, money talks.
Most of the idiotic shit they do comes during CONCACAF events and CONCACAF turns a blind eye to them.
@petar north……..ahh, but it is a lifestyle.
Ziva, North said it right…Mexico used the same chant during the last World Cup and FIFA said…no big deal.
also, at one point during the World Cup I read a story where the writer said that so far during the tournament, there were 8 arrests in Brazil…7 of those arrests were to Mexican fans, 1 was a Brazilian.
@ Ziva, I knew our side wasn’t that strong going into that tournament so I was not surprised we were eliminated in the group phase as I am sure most on here were as well. The Cameroon win was a mirage.
I made some coin on going with the Mexicans to prevail in that game. No sour grapes here but I do make a fine wine from scratch. Got some nice vineyards up in my neck of the woods.
Sounds like the “I live on welfare” lifestyle to me but to each his own.
We are here for a good time, not a long time.
@Petar North…..agreed on the World Cup. FIFA dropped the ball on that one. But, lets be honest. Is this some sour grapes on your end regarding Mexico because they kicked our ass at the World Cup.
Friends, one thing I’ve learned when it comes to soccer in the US and the CONCACAF region is that you do not sit near or within throwing distance of Mexican fans. That is why should always pay the extra money and sit in a suite. If not, knowing the way Mexicans are, you are only asking for trouble.
@Ante B…….everyting in Cro is perverted manipulation; from our poliitcla leadership to our leadership in sports.
@Sepp…….no need to feel sorry for me. I have Mama Istina making food for me every day (what can i say, the bitch knows how to cook), I reside in the comforts of a gated community and I call home to a fortfied basement. I’m the last person you should feel sorry for. If you need help learning the language and culture, just let me know. I’m happy to help you.
The example of Mexican fan behavior at the last WC in Brazil is a FIFA issue. It’s a FIFA torunament, not solely a CONCACAF tourney like the Gold Cup.
Something probably should have been done but it wasn’t because as someone said earlier it’s all about the dollar bills.
US or Mexico
Ziva, go on, just keep lying to yourself. As annoying as you are, I do feel sorry for you.
I just feel like this is all a total perverted manipulation. However I will take some solice with the Serbs being super pissed at the decision. Only a little though
@Slavonac………agreed with you about Mexico, but that is a CONCACAF issue, not a FIFA issue and obviously not a UEFA issue. CONCACAF won’t do anything to the US or the USA because those are the only two federations that can make money for CONCACAF. Is it fair? Nope. But, they have power, money and influence and last I checked power, money and influence rule the day. Fair? Nope!! But, that is reality.
@Ante B……guilt by association. If this was the first time we got in trouble, then you can say something else. But, it is not. Look at the fines and punishment over the last 5 years. Guilt by association.
Me personally, I don’t do stupid things to put myself in a questionable situation. Moving forward, the savez has to take every cautionary measure possible to avoid us getting hit.
@Sepp……Oh, I know what it means. I live it every day/
Ok so if we’re going to say that nothing has been proven then why are the fans getting the shit end of the stick? Guilt by association? Or is it just easy to say that? With Milan, I understand the frustration…but not at Poljud.
I’m waiting for Milanovic to try and take the credit for this decision after writing his begging letter to Platini a couple of weeks back.
And yes, Mexican fans are becoming some of worst. I will never forgive them for the beer shower in Recife. And it’s shocking that they think Puto is funny and that FIFA finds it acceptable.
Ziva,
I don’t think “living the ‘za dom….spremni’ lifestyle” means what you think it does. Sorry buddy, you couldn’t be any more wrong.
That’s very true! there hasn’t been any criminal charges nor has there been an indication of who did the crime….somebody is hiding something here!
The Mexicans are rats. Two things they are good at.
1. Landscaping
2. Crafting tunnels
Nobody could get WiFi in the stadium, so they can’t find the people, who committed this outrageous act.
I know I’m alone here but how are so many here convinced that actual Croatian fans made the swastika? Has anything been proven since the Italy game? I have seen no proof of innocence or guilt except a grainy video of two people jumping the fence. Why haven’t they been caught yet?
Ziva…last night I saw Mexico vs Panama and witnessed the Mexican fans once again yell out “PUTOOO”…this is a homophobic slur and very insulting. I saw their fans throw garbage and hit several players and staff members from Panama, I saw the Mexican coach mix it up physically during a massive fiasco between the two teams…and in the past I’ve seen Mexican fans throw bags of shit, piss and vomit onto the field and plastering the opposing players.
The fine we got was lenient, in my opinion…BUT, I’m ecstatic we got off without losing any ground in the group. If FIFA, UEFA, CONCACAF and any other organization can turn a blind eye to Mexico…we are Saints compared to them!
@syu…………ummm, wrong.
@majstore……I like entertainment. If I am an editor of a tv station or website, I call the the Jewish Center, FARE and even the serbs for their reaction considering they are coming off a 3 point fine. I would love to hear their overreaction to our ruling.
Let there be no doubt that I am all about Hrvatska and live the “za dom….spremni” lifestyle. Also, let there be no doubt I want the criminal element removed from the federation.
The shitshow will continue because we still have crazed fans will continue to do things to hurt the image of the federation. At the end of the day, we might be OK with the minimal point deduction, but the news to the outside world today will be that we did receive a point deduction, decent-sized fine and two more games with no fans all because of a swastika on the pitch. That is what the rest of the world will see and that is not good for our image.
I still laugh at some of you who falsely claim I want to see Hrvatska hurt. Far from the truth, but homers gotta homer. Keep jock sniffing my friends (not all of you, mostly those of you who don’t live the “za dom….spremni” lifestyle and can’t speak the language or know nothing about Hrvatska outside of the sports).
My proposal: let’s start a petition to play the next two games behind closed doors in Beograd.
In that way we can’t lose – if any more swastikas get carved onto the pitch, the Serb FA or else the CZ stadium authorities will get accused of not controling their grounds security properly and then maybe the Serbs will get deducted points.
Only a cetnik like Ziva Istina would think of doing something like that, it’s ok though im sure the likes of Holiga are already on it.
only person upset here is Ziva for us not getting kicked out, don’t worry ziva you can wish for that next time
bog i hrvati
No more games at Poljud? HNS also subscribed to that one a one time ago. They already popped the champagne.
Someone needs to get that Jewish rights group on the phone for an interview to get their reaction. Turn this into an already bigger shit show.
So they’ll play Bulgaria behind closed doors and then in the next Qualifying cycle for EURO play their first home game behind closed doors.
A single point deduction is funny.
I say appeal!! haha.
1 point is laughable.
Either multiple points or nothing, but 1 point is funny.
So, what happens the next time because there will be a next time.
ha ha ha.
So where should they play the next to two closed games?
http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/qualifiers/news/newsid=2267337.html
HUH?
LOL
After all that fear mongering from Šuker and the red media.
Disciplinska komisija Uefe donijela je odluku o kazni Hrvatskoj vezano za svastiku na Poljudu tijekom kvalifikacijske utakmice s Italijom. Hrvatska reprezentacija kažnjena je oduzimanjem jednog boda u natjecanju Europskih kvalifikacija. Istodobno, Savez je kažnjen sa 100.000 eura, a iduće dvije domaće utakmice u Uefinim natjecanjima ponovno će igrati bez publike, kao što je bilo i protiv Italije. K tomu, UEFA je odredila HNS-u da preostale domaće utakmice u ovim kvalifikacijama ne može igrati na stadionu Poljud (Hrvatskoj je preostao domaći susret s Bugarskom).
http://www.vecernji.hr/nogomet/odluka-je-donesena-evo-kako-je-uefa-kaznila-hrvatsku-1016093
1 point reduction
100,000 euro fine
2 additional games without fans
The penalty is Mamic and Suker are to live in Ziva’s fortified basement until the conclusion of the 2018 WC Qualifiers.
They will all share in the “Za dom spremni” lifestyle.
Corluka will also be permitted to visit monthly to discuss his sexual escapades and compare notes with the “3 Amigos”.
Did any fellow Hrvati ask Luka Modric for some money cash he has plenty.
Breaking news !!!!!
There will be no fine. To celebrate Suker will run around the room with outstretched arms celebrating as he announces the decision just as he did when he scored against Schmeichel in 96.
You heard it here first! Suker HEROJ !!!!!
; )
What is it then ziva?
3 point deduction 100k euro fine and matches behind closed doors?
My sources say a hefty fine, the final home game versus Bulgaria to be played behind closed doors in another country and a 3 point deduction.
@don Jon………do you read what you write? Yeah, that will teach FIFA and UEFA by us refusing to play. Come on, they wouldn’t miss us and you know it. And, relax, we are not getting thrown out. The decision is in and we are not getting thrown out. It’s not too bad actually.
Well done Luka Modric for catching up with our St Albans (Dinamo) while in Melbourne”
Legend!!!!!!!
https://twitter.com/albans_st
I can’t get any freakin’ shut eye, as I’m waiting for the decision to be released.
Brace yourselves folks ’cause it’s gonna be a helluva crash landing…..
If Croatia get thrown out of Euro 2016 I think they should take a stand against FIFA and UEFA and not play in the World Cup 2018 qualifiers teach them a lesson. It wouldn’t be fair on the players for them to do this. It would be a draconian penalty bit extreme. So Molde it is Norwegians are friendly people good to see Dinamo will play them.

@Ziva Istina
What do you have in mind.
The draw for the 2018 World Cup is this Saturday, July 25. Haven’t heard much about it on here and was surprised to find out.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/world-cup/11755959/When-is-the-2018-World-Cup-qualifying-draw-and-who-could-England-face.html
Now you get it. Money and power equal influence. The powerful get to play by a different set of rules.
@hammer…….. care to make a wager about no point deduction.
Mexico and their coach behaved like a bunch of assholes! What a shitty display from that shithole referee…that was robbery in plain sight on TV….also, Vela was offside before they got their penalty….world class shit show!
If you bring money to a tournament, like Mexico does for this Gold Cup, you get three penalties (two in the final minutes of the last 2 games), a red card for the opponent, and your fans get to yell “puto” on every goal kick.
If you are Croatia – eh.
Croatia won’t be missing any tournament. They won’t be getting a points deduction, they will however be playing the rest of their home games in Germany (WWK arena in Augsburg) without any Croatian support. Some people on this site are just preparing themselves for the worst.
Long term pain….are you ok with Croatia being expelled from the Euro’s in return Mamic gets ousted?
What’s next? We may not like the next batch of corrupt fuckers and then what?
Mamic has to be removed by Croatia and for his corrupt ways at Dinamo, then he’ll be removed from the savez as well. I don’t want our team to miss such a huge tournament because of one corrupt person!
Short term pain AND long term pain.
That’s the only thing that will make Živa happy
What agenda? Are you a fan boy of Mamic and Puppet Suker?
Nice to see Jamaica oust the U.S. in the Gold Cup semis tonight.
Yeah right. When Mamic and Suker gone. The stupidity on this site and the agenda some of you have. Isuse.
Long term gain only comes when Mamic is ousted and Puppet Suker is eliminated. But the current theater is good.
@ Ziva –
All I’ve been seeing is short-term pain for long-term pain.
Wasn’t the end of Stimac supposed to improve something? …before that, the end of Markovic? …and so on, so forth?
Poglavnik if you’ve ever spent an extended period of time in a country like say Switzerland for example where they think we are all thieves, lopovi & hooligans you’d know that that is actually how they view us. You know kind of like how we look badly at Indians, Pakis and Arabs here. Its quite interesting experiencing that level of reverse prejudice / racism when you are over there : )
“Paki’s of Europe!”
Fuck I almost choked on my coffee!
I am using that one!
Maybe not to describe us though..
@Ziva
Only 1 of those 4 things is worth crying about, but yeah this could be a really shitty day…
Russia has money, we don’t.
Why don’t Russia get the World Cup taken off them then for 2018 they are very racist and yet they will host it. UEFA FIFA Corruption alive and well. Setting Double standards.
No worries, after the news comes down tomorrow nobody will be talking about what took place on the streets in Luxembourg.
Just realized tomorrow could go down as possibly the worst day in cro soccer history, a possible Black Thursday. Think about, we get hit hard with the repka, jadan, mali i memo an hajduk are out of Europe, Rijeka are out of Europe and Lokomotiva go out of Europe (although to be fair, nobody cares how they do).
So, what say you Croatian sports dot com nation? Can tomorrow be Black Thursday?
Nice video from Luxembourg. Reinforces in everyone’s mind that we are primitive balkanci aka the paki’s of Europe.
Of course the US will get all the calls. CONCACAF needs Mexico and US to make the finals to turn a profit.
Plus, might as well have the US advance and play Mexico so the US can show us how to beat Mexico, because we shit the bed when we have to play Mexico in a must win situation.
More like City Football Club Internazionale Dinamo Zagreb brought to you by Mamic and the Football Mafia.
@ Ante B it’s turned into GNK Dinamo Stranci GNK Dynamo United.
Come on Reggae Boyz!!!
Watch the States get all the calls now.
Heaven forbid it’s not a USA/Mexico final!
Poor Costa Rica were absolutely robbed in their semi final game!
Ziva,
“Question for the Europski dinamo fans. Three hrvati in the line up for them today. Are you OK with that?”
Never.
actually, the saddest part of all this is those that actually support the idiots that ruin it for the entire Croatian population around the world! some people think its ok to try and make change this way….they are mentally challenged!
UEFA are not dummies, yes they see this but we are talking aobut 20 people, you can’t condemn a nation for the actions of 20, this is all getting out of hand, we are talking about such a small percentage but it is turning into something bigger here. real shame
Evan in Italy, that was a shame, 99 percent of the croatians at the game were having a great time and participating and behaving but the 1% ruin it.
@ bobby v
That ole lady is prolly thinkin’ she ain’t in Luxembourg anymore!
Can you imagine being in the UEFA disciplinary meetings discussing how to punish Hrvatska and trying to stick up for Croatia saying they don’t cause that much trouble. Than a week later after those meetings we have Croatian fans doing damage in the mean streets of Luxemburg.
I had a bet correct score Dinamo Zagreb 5:0 disappointing Dinamo was all over them like Barcelona against Spanish sides when they hold 70% possession could have been 3:0 at half time if it wasn’t for the Fola goalkeeper who pulled out that good save before the half time break. Marko Rog the highest transfer in HNL history looked good as well as El Arbi Hillel Soudani.
Bobby, they are losers…period! there isn’t a single person that can convince me why this is standing up for a right and fighting for a cause, this is pure thuggery at its best!
Impressive game by Dinamo, could of been 5 – 0 easy.
Placa and Rog played well.
http://gol.dnevnik.hr/clanak/nogomet/neredi-u-luksemburgu-zestoko-se-sukobile-dvije-frakcije-bbb-a—394045.html
Fucking embarrassing – guess it’s not just us on this website.
Can you imagine explaining to some old lady walking down the street in Luxembourgh, who stumbled upon this, exactly what this was about?
Hahaha
Rog has finally arrived! With an inaugural goal!
And Looks like with “Tata” back from the slammer Dinamo got its act together. Surely he must have used his Kaiš on’em!
Oh, and lets not forget our Chinese Super League star Sammir!
True, they have produced talent. But, what has it done for the Dinamo fan. You can list all those guys and the results in Europe have been terrible. You would think they would enjoy some european success (and my success I mean being competitive).
By the way, why is Coric not with the team? Is he hurt or is this some type of power play from the kid’s father and agent in the manner STD Corluka refused to play for Dinamo in European matches so he could be sold.
told you all, don’t worry
last few weeks too many distractions and players even wondering will they be paid on time, all in order now
next round will be interesting and a lot tougher for them
marko pjaca, impressive second goal
Well today they are having success and I’m enjoying it!
As long as they continue to produce guys like Modric, Mandzukic, Kovacic, Halilovic, Coric, Brodic, Muric, etc, etc, I’m ok with it.
Europski dinamo showing they are europski today.
Question for the Europski dinamo fans. Three hrvati in the line up for them today. Are you OK with that?
You can accept that if they were having success in Europe, but when you are not, it raises question.
should be a tight tie the next round vs. Molde, definitely will watch those
Pjaca has a brace. 2-0 in the 41st. No need to watch, it’s doneski.
DINAMOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
2-0 just before the half.
Pjaca with both.
can’t watch a feed for mighty Europski Dinamo…
how they looking so far?
some interesting characters on that link JB.
http://www.espnfc.us/blog/espn-fc-united-blog/68/post/2525085/wenger-taylor-mamic-joorabchian-lynch-most-influential
Right now, T best, and I stress at best, Rebic is nothing more than a guy you put upfront in the final 10 minutes of a game when you need a goal. Nothing in his game suggests he can do anything else. He is still young,but needs to improve to get more time.
@ Soul Champ
oh yeah, just put Rebic out there with his explosive legs and pineapple for a glava so he can get us an easy red card during an NT match – that’s EXACTLY what we need.
ya saw rebic on the tube… looked alright for sure… i was surprised thought he was still stuck in that shit austrian team
Hajdujk average 2 to 3 managers a season. Why don’t they hire Vulic- he’s surely the best local option for them?
Rebić … Tactical understanding ?
Put him on the front foot and have him run at the goal.
Make it simple for his young explosive legs.
Leave the tactics for the midfielders and defenders.
Love to see this kid gain some stability in his game and give us a boost at Euro ’16 (if we participate).
I am in Italy right now and have seen on TV Mandzukic training with Juve. I wonder how he will do in the constipated Serie A where tactics reign supreme ?
Hasn’t Rebic always looked good in meaningless games? His troubles are with the tactical side of the game when the matches count.
How many points does Europski win the league????? Under normal corrupt circumstances I would say 20. Under current circumstances, I go with 12.
Rebic looked good and had a goal removed on a bullshit call.
FYI – International friendly PSG vs Fiorentina and Rebic is playing.
So how many points will Dinamo win it by this year?
I’m going with 7.
Osijek and Split are currently on top…
Twilight zone music.
Riveting HNL action! LOVEEEEEEEEEEE IT!
