Dinamo secured a clean victory in a postponed match against Slaven Belupo. Croatian champions managed to get an early lead and before half time Fatos Beqiraj scored his second goal to make it, what proved to be, final 2:0.

Modri couldn't have wished for a better start then the one against Slaven Belupo: first chance and Dinamo took the lead. Sammir made a cross from a set piece situation, ball went over handful of players and came to Beqiraj who was alone and the ball was in the net. Off course, everything was much easier after an early lead and Dinamo dominated the game.

Rukavina and Vrsaljko on the right side were very active and they've created several chances in front of Pelin. Slaven's defense and goalkeeper managed to keep the ball from the net but few minutes before half time - they were helpless. It was a very nice move by Dinamo which led to Vrsaljko being alone on the right side and his cross came to Beqiraj who nicely placed another ball in the net; it was in the 39th minute.

Modri continued to dominate in the second half but there was no goals. Slaven tried to get back in the game by free kick attempts from Davor Vugrinec but Ivan Kelava was concentrated. Dinamo's free kick response was Luis Ibanez who had couple of nice shots. All in all, clean and fully deserved Dinamo victory.

With this victory Dinamo kept 13 points advantage at the league table and the team is now preparing for a game in Varaždin which is due on Saturday, 24th March.
