Dinamo Defeats Varaždin at Maksimir
Dinamo secured a 3-1 (0-1) victory over Varaždin at Maksimir in the 4th round of the HNL, reinforcing their league dominance. Varaždin led 28th minute, but Dinamo equalized in 57th and won in 68th, with Robert Mudražija sealing the win in stoppage time.
Kovačević's Brutal Substitutions
Kovačević delayed substitutions until the 56th minute, but Dinamo equalized a minute later. Matteo Perez Vinlof, replacing Brunu Godu, evaded the goalkeeper and passed the ball to Dion Drena Belje, who scored. In the 68th minute, Nike Galešić beat the goalkeeper from a corner, giving Dinamo the lead.
Varaždin Completely Collapsed
The turnaround demoralized the visiting team, which had several counterattack attempts but failed to create real threats. Late in the match, Kovačević introduced Mudražija and Oršić, two returning players in the blue jersey. Mudražija had a chance to score in the 90th minute, but the ball hit the post. In stoppage time, Belje again acted as the passer, and Mudražija scored from the penalty spot, securing the 3-1 final score.
