Last day of preseason training in Rovinj Dinamo played their friendly game against Slovenian side Celje. Croatian champions were a much better team, created numerous chances but the game ended goalless; despite Modri having a penalty kick.

Dinamo opened the game in 4-2-3-1 formation with Stojanović making his debut on the right full back. Modri had plenty of chances but they lacked concentration in finishing. The best one came in the second half when an unstoppable youngster Brekalo made of his runs on the side and earned a penalty kick. Unfortunately, keeper went on the right side and Machado's shot was saved. This game was very important because it was the first one for national team centre back Gordon Schildenfeld after a long term injury.

After the game Modri went back to Zagreb where they will train until the end of the week and then go to Spain on Monday for preseason camp.
