NK Slaven Belupo secured a 2-1 victory over NK Lokomotiva Zagreb in an intense match characterized by disciplined defending and opportunistic scoring. Slaven Belupo's ability to capitalize on their chances with a high level of efficiency made the difference. Despite generating fewer goal-scoring opportunities from set pieces, with no corner kicks compared to Lokomotiva's four, they displayed clinical finishing, converting two of their limited shots into goals.

Lokomotiva Zagreb maintained superior discipline in terms of positioning, not falling into offside traps, contrasting with Slaven Belupo's three offsides. This tactical sharpness helped them create attacks that put pressure on the home team. However, the inability to convert pressure into goals proved costly. Slaven Belupo's defensive resilience, despite collecting five yellow cards, including three in the first half, disrupted Lokomotiva's attacking flow, limiting their effectiveness in the final third.

The dynamics of the match were greatly influenced by Slaven Belupo's determination and physicality, as evidenced by their five yellow cards. Their aggressive play, particularly in the midfield, put Lokomotiva on the back foot despite their advantage in corner kicks and ball possession. Lokomotiva’s failure to convert set pieces into tangible scoring opportunities highlighted a lack of execution in critical situations, ultimately leading to their narrow defeat.
