Outstanding performance
Lokomotiva Zagreb•MidfielderLokomotiva Zagreb secured a crucial 2-0 victory over Istra 1961 in a match that was effectively decided in the first half. The hosts capitalized on a fortunate own goal from Marcel Heister after 18 minutes before Blaz Boskovic doubled their advantage right on the stroke of half-time. Despite Istra enjoying 56% possession and creating more chances throughout the match, their hopes of a comeback were effectively ended when Tino Jukic received a red card for a professional foul in the 64th minute. The victory represents an important result for Lokomotiva as they look to climb away from the lower reaches of the table, while Istra will rue their wastefulness in front of goal and the crucial sending-off that killed their momentum.
