NK Slaven Belupo 1:4 VSNK Varazdin — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Ivan Canjuga scored twice as NK Varaždin thrashed NK Slaven Belupo 4-1 away in the 1. HNL. The forward’s two goals anchored a ruthless away display that leaves the visitors firmly in control of their season, with no next fixture yet confirmed.

Varaždin struck three times in a devastating first-half burst, Canjuga opening the scoring after 26 minutes from Gregor Sikošek’s assist, Luka Mamić doubling the lead two minutes later and Aleksa Latković adding a third just before the break, with Ivan Mamut providing the final pass. Slaven Belupo pulled one back through Ilija Nestorovski on 71 minutes, Marko Dabro assisting, but Canjuga sealed the rout with his second on 78, Matej Vuk the provider. A VAR check on 29 minutes went Varaždin’s way, while Luka Škaričić saw an early yellow for the visitors and Dominik Kovačić one late for the hosts.

The numbers tell a stark tale: Varaždin took 23 shots to Slaven Belupo’s 11 and generated an xG of 2.50 against 0.55, though the hosts edged possession at 57% without turning it into anything meaningful. The first half was utterly one-sided, Varaždin registering 12 shots and an xG of 1.49 before the break, while Slaven Belupo’s second-half improvement—nine shots and 0.49 xG—counted for nothing. Canjuga was the standout, earning a 9.2 rating for his two-goal display from the forward line. CheckLive’s model clearly favoured Varaždin, and the result confirmed it emphatically.
