NK Varaždin were held to a 0-0 draw by NK Istra 1961 in the 1. HNL despite controlling the game. The hosts had 21 shots to Istra's nine and enjoyed 58% possession, yet could not turn their pressure into a goal.
There were no goals at either end, with the match finishing goalless. Six players were booked across the 90 minutes — Dukan Ahmeti, Stipe Jurić, Rene Hrvatin, Gregor Sikošek, Frane Maglica and Hamza Jaganjac — and no red cards were shown.
The statistics underlined Varaždin's dominance: they registered eight corners, four shots on target and 1.45 expected goals. Istra's goalkeeper made four saves and Varaždin missed two big chances, so the draw reflected a home side that created the clearer openings but lacked a finish.
