In the exciting match between NK Kustosija Zagreb and NK Rudes as part of the fiercely competitive 1.HNL league, the final score was 2-1 in favor of the home team, NK Kustosija Zagreb, who showcased exceptional teamwork and strategic execution.

The story of the match was largely told through key moments and disciplinal issues. Kustosija started strong with an early goal scored in the initial 11:03 in the first half. Rudes equalized later on in the match with a creative play in the second half at 01:11:31, but they were unable to take the lead. Kustosija managed to secure a decisive second goal in the second half at 01:31:08, which ultimately secured their victory.

However, NK Kustosija Zagreb's persistent issues with discipline turned into a significant factor in this match. The home team amassed a total of five yellow cards, well above the league average, two of which were handed out in quick succession within a span of a minute. Despite many cards, the home team managed to stave off a red card, an aspect that could have easily swayed the match in NK Rudes's favor.

The match remained evenly matched when it came to controlling possession in the opponent’s half as shown by the offside count, with each team caught offside just once during the match. However, NK Rudes had a slight advantage in corner kicks won with 6 compared to NK Kustosija Zagreb's 4. While the overall scoring opportunities remained quite level, NK Rudes were unable to convert their superior corner kick possession into tangible results.

It can be concluded that while NK Rudes posed a formidable challenge to the home team, their inability to capitalize on their opportunities in combination with the NK Kustosija Zagreb's early lead and determination resulted in an away loss. On the other hand, NK Kustosija Zagreb needs to improve their disciplinary record to avoid putting the team’s result in jeopardy in future matches.
