Modri got minimal but well deserved win in Pula for the tenth victory in a row! Once again the game was played in very poor pitch conditions and once again it was Marko Pjaca and a bit of his genius that brought the win.

In the 6th minute of the game Marko Pjaca decided to decide the game. Marko took the ball on the left flank, made a brilliant run through Istra's defensive line, entered the box and placed the ball in the net. Moment of brilliance that decided the game. Standing ovation from the home fans said it all.

Of course, Dinamo continued to dominate because almost the entire game was ahead of them. Rog, Hodžić and again Pjaca all had their chances in the first half but Iveša saved his net. In the second half, of  course, it was Pjaca who had the first attempt but his shot wasn't accurate enough.

After a long time injuries both Taravel and Henriquez entered the game in the second half and earned their first caps in the second part of the season. Angelo almost got himself on the scoresheet but Iveša really had a great day.

Modri got the win, stretched their streak to ten wins in a row and the next game is against Slaven Belupo on Sunday.
