Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Mirko Marić struck first and NK Lokomotiva Zagreb ran out 3-1 winners over HNK Gorica, with Bruno Bogojević’s fine consolation not enough to deny the hosts a comfortable home victory. Lokomotiva led 2-0 at the break and never looked like surrendering their advantage, sealing the game late through Noel Đurković.

The turning point arrived early when Marić converted Marko Pajač’s assist in the 12th minute, settling the home side immediately, and Ante Kavelj doubled the lead before half-time. Gorica responded through Bogojević in the 60th minute with Luka Vrzić providing the assist, but Đurković’s 90th-minute strike, set up by Dusan Vukovic, killed off any lingering hopes of a comeback.

Lokomotiva’s victory was built on efficiency rather than dominance, as Gorica controlled possession at 54% and created more chances with 15 shots and 1.48 xG against the hosts’ 11 shots and 0.89 xG. The away side were the better team in the opening half, registering 9 shots to Lokomotiva’s 1, but the hosts rallied after the interval with 10 shots to 6. Bogojević was the standout performer with a rating of 8.3, scoring from midfield in a losing cause. CheckLive’s model clearly favoured Lokomotiva, and the result confirmed it.
