Dinamo Zagreb Claims Croatian Cup Victory Over Rijeka
Dinamo Zagreb secured the Croatian Cup title with a decisive 2-0 victory against Rijeka in the final held at the Opus Arena. The match saw two goals from Luka Stojković, netting in the 50th and 57th minutes, ultimately determining the outcome. This triumph marks Dinamo’s 18th Croatian Cup win since Croatia’s independence, solidifying their dominance in the competition.
Rijeka, a previous eight-time Cup winner, was unable to prevent the defeat. Arbër Hoxha entered the field in the 63rd minute, but the score remained unchanged. The victory allows Dinamo to complete the “dopietë,” achieving both the championship and the cup, earning them the double crown for the season.
Significantly, Dinamo’s success has implications for European qualification. As the Cup winner, Dinamo will secure the automatic spot in the Europa League, traditionally reserved for the Croatian Cup champion. This outcome also benefits Hajduk Split, potentially creating a more advantageous position for their European campaign.
The Croatian Cup final concluded with Dinamo Zagreb celebrating their latest victory.
