In the recent 1. HNL match between NK Dugopolje and NK Hrvace, NK Dugopolje emerged victorious with a convincing 2-0 win. The home team showcased significant offensive efficiency, evidenced by early capitalization with their first goal in the 20th minute. This early lead set the tone for the match, placing NK Hrvace on the back foot. NK Dugopolje’s composure was further demonstrated by their ability to extend the lead in the second half, with another goal just after the hour mark, reflecting their consistent pressure on the visitors' defense.

NK Hrvace struggled to convert their share of set-piece opportunities, as both teams were granted three corner kicks during the match. Despite this parity in potential scoring opportunities from corners, NK Hrvace’s inability to breach the home team's defense was evident, compounded by managing only a single offside call against them versus NK Dugopolje’s disciplined performance with no offsides. The differential in fouls, with NK Hrvace committing 11 compared to NK Dugopolje’s 10, also highlights a slightly more aggressive approach from the visitors, yet this did not result in strategic gain or significant pressure on NK Dugopolje.

The discipline and structure of NK Dugopolje were crucial to their victory, as they adeptly managed three yellow cards without losing composure or a man to a red card. NK Hrvace received just one yellow card but failed to capitalize on their slightly better disciplinary record. The match's ebb and flow were significantly impacted by the yellow cards, especially NK Dugopolje’s ability to manage their aggression without conceding a penalty or risking numerical disadvantage. This disciplined approach, coupled with the effective conversion of key chances, underscores Dugopolje’s superior teamwork and strategic execution in securing this win.
