HNK Gorica held HNK Rijeka to a goalless draw in the 1. HNL, with the visitors dominating possession and chances but unable to find a way through. The result leaves both sides sharing the points after a tight, scrappy contest.
There were no goals to report, and the game's most significant moments came from the referee's notebook. Anel Husić was booked in the 58th minute, Ivan Ćubelić followed on 81, and Jakov Puljić went into the book in the 90th, but neither team could force a decisive breakthrough.
Rijeka's control was clear in the numbers: 69% possession, 11 shots to Gorica's three, and an expected goals tally of 0.40 against 0.16. Yet the home side's goalkeeper was called upon only twice, and a missed big chance left the visitors ruing a point that might have been three.
