The HNL league match on January 21, 2023, between GNK Dinamo Zagreb and HNK Gorica ended in a goalless draw, with both teams having a strenuous defensive performance. There were no goals to report from either side, hence setting up a solid defensive play throughout the 90 minutes was particularly significant. It's noteworthy that the result offers no reward for GNK Dinamo Zagreb's dominance in gaining corner kicks.

The home team, Dinamo Zagreb, was assertive and showcased more control in the match with a total of 9 corner kicks awarded, a clear indication of their attacking intent, their stronger possession in the opponent's half, and the pressure they were applying. However, this advantage was not translated into a tangible outcome in terms of goals. Despite having such opportunities to score, the lack of finishing prowess from Dinamo Zagreb was glaringly evident.

On the contrary, the visitors HNK Gorica only managed to secure two corner kicks throughout the game. This paints a picture of a team that was forced to sit deep and hold off the home team's attack, spending less time in the offensive zones and hence having fewer set-play opportunities. Despite these figures, Gorica were successful in keeping Dinamo Zagreb at bay, which testifies to their impressive defensive organisation.

The disciplinary aspect was another key area of this match. In all, five yellow cards were shown by the referee, three of which went to Gorica and two to Dinamo Zagreb. This reflects a game where heavy tackles and physicality were defining features. The first yellow card was awarded to Gorica in the first half, followed by four in the second half, two for each team. The last yellow card of the match was shown to Gorica at the 01:35:16 mark. These occurrences interrupted the flow of the game, and potentially stalled offensive momentum of the teams, contributing to the eventual goalless draw.

Both teams demonstrated commitment, competitiveness, and resilience throughout the match. The match statistics, however, indicate that Dinamo Zagreb commanded the game play but failed to capitalize on it while Gorica stood their ground more defensively, successfully neutralizing the home team's threats. The lack of goals from both teams highlights a need for more refined offensive strategies and clinical finishing as well as possibly a need for caution regarding the number of bookings.
