Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

NK Croatia Zmijavci came from behind to beat NK Široki Brijeg 2-1 in a Club Friendly, with Damir Zlomislić the standout performer for the losing side. The match was a scrappy pre-season affair with no immediate competitive stakes, decided by a late turnaround that also saw Široki Brijeg finish with ten men.

Široki Brijeg struck first in the 13th minute to take the lead, but the game shifted decisively in the 84th minute when NK Croatia Zmijavci equalised, and within the same minute, the visitors were reduced to ten men after a red card. Three yellow cards for Široki Brijeg before that point had already hinted at a fraying discipline, and the hosts capitalised with a second goal to snatch the win.

The numbers show Široki Brijeg edged possession with 51% to 49% and won five corners to two, suggesting they were the more assertive side in general play, but they could not protect their lead and paid for their indiscipline. Damir Zlomislić was the standout player with a 7.25 rating, the highest in the match, despite being on the losing team and not scoring. No further fixtures are scheduled.
