NK Slaven Belupo 4:0 NK Sesvete — Result, Match Report & Stats

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Josip Mitrović scored once and earned a match-high 9.46 rating as NK Slaven Belupo thrashed NK Sesvete 4-0 in a Club Friendly. The result was never in doubt from the second minute, but Belupo will take little from a routine workout against a side that finished with ten men.

Lovro Banovec opened the scoring inside two minutes, and Ilija Nestorovski doubled the lead just before half-time in the 40th minute. Mitrović made it three two minutes later, and the contest was effectively over when a Sesvete player was shown a red card in the 61st minute. A fourth goal arrived in the 74th minute to complete the rout.

Belupo utterly dominated the numbers, holding 70 percent possession and winning six corners to Sesvete's none — the visitors offered almost nothing going forward. Mitrović was the standout with his goal and the highest rating of any player on the pitch, though the margin of victory owed more to the opposition's collapse than individual brilliance. There is no next fixture to look toward.
