In the 1. HNL match between NK Dugopolje and NK Croatia Zmijavci, the home team leveraged their tactical acumen to secure a decisive victory. Dugopolje displayed superior teamwork, ending the game with a 2-0 victory. The hosts had a higher possession rate, and their effective ball distribution was evident, particularly in the final third where they were able to create meaningful scoring opportunities.

Both Dugopolje's goals came from set-piece situations, capitalizing on Croatia Zmijavci's defensive lapses. The home side had an impressive seven corner kicks compared to Zmijavci's three, demonstrating their ability to consistently pressure Zmijavci's defense. Zmijavci struggled to cope with these set-piece threats, which ultimately led to their downfall despite managing to keep the game disciplined with zero yellow cards.

NK Croatia Zmijavci, on the other hand, had a surprising struggle to convert their chances despite recording three more shots on target than their opponents. Dugopolje’s goalkeeper put in an exceptional performance with key saves at crucial moments. Furthermore, Zmijavci’s attack was consistently thwarted by offsides calls, indicating a lack of synchronicity among their forwards. The coherent defensive structure of Dugopolje was pivotal in maintaining their clean sheet, which, along with clinical finishing, turned out to be the difference-maker in the match.
