Outstanding performance
Slaven Koprivnica•AttackerRudeš caught Slaven Koprivnica cold, going ahead through Saad El Haddad shortly after the restart despite being second-best for most of the contest, with Slaven dominating possession (63%) and territory but struggling to convert their 19 shots into goals. The turning point came just after the hour when Marko Stolnik was sent off for a foul, and Slaven capitalised on their numerical advantage, with substitute Ilija Nestorovski scoring twice in four minutes — first from the penalty spot, then with a clinical finish — to turn the game on its head. Rudeš, reduced to ten men and fighting fatigue, somehow found a leveller in the dying seconds through Marko Zebić, salvaging a point their overall performance statistics barely justified given they managed just 3 shots on target from 9 attempts and completed only 67% of their passes. For Rudeš, sitting in the relegation zone, this feels like a moral victory snatched from the jaws of defeat, while Slaven will rue missing four big chances and failing to see out a game they controlled for long periods.
