Modri continued their winning streak and kept five points advantage in front of Rijeka! Dinamo was a much better side, created many chances against defensive Split but it was a brilliant move from Marko Pjaca which decided the game.

Defence and fouls; that was the style of play Split decided to stick on to against the champions. It was difficult to count all the fouls Split players did in the first half and in between Modri had several nice chances to take the lead. Most of them came from the side when Pjaca was doing a big mess each time he got the ball.

Musa and Rog both tried with long shots but Zagorac was in great form but in the 63^rd minute he was simply helpless. Pjaca showed a piece of his genius who got the ball on the left side of the box, got rid of his defender and placed a marvelous shot to the upper far corner. Brilliant move who certainly deserved this goal. Modri continued to dominate, had several chances to extend the lead but Zagorac saved them all. All except one that brought Dinamo another three points.

Modri play their next game on Thursday away against Istra.
