Dinamo played another great game, won 3:0 against Slaven Belupo to round up in style first part of the season and extended their unbeaten run to amazing 40 games! Paracki's own goal gave Modri the lead, Henriquez's brilliant header doubled the lead before half time and Matel's first goal for Dinamo ten minutes from time ended the story.

At the press conference before the game coach Zoran Mamić said that this game is of the most important to him. Just a few days after qualifying for the Champions league with the team tired in many ways and against in form Slaven coach had something to worry about. But luckily - he was wrong. The players responded great, dominated the whole game against Slaven Belupo and got the well deserved victory.

Offensive Modri with captain Antolić and Rog in the midfield behind playmaker Ćorić dominated the entire game so it's not strange it took them only 11 minutes to take the lead. Antolić ended nice team move with a cross to the box where Paracki sent the ball to his own net. Dinamo continued to push forward, most of the time all the players were on Slaven's half of the pitch and in the 44th minute Dinamo doubled the lead.

Ćorić made a cross and Henriquez scored a brilliant header from 10 metres to the far post. Excellent move for another nice goal for our last season top goalscorer. Despite having the lead in was just Dinamo in the second half. Pjaca had several nice attempts but Rozman saved a lot of shots on Saturday evening.

It was only a matter of time when will Rozman and Slaven give another goal and it happened in the 79th minute. Henriquez made a pass to Matel who entered the middle and stroke a very nice left-footed shot to the far corner; great move from our full back for his first Dinamo goal.

With this win Dinamo extended their unbeaten run to 40 games and now it's time for national team break. The players will travel all around the world to play for their countries and next Dinamo game is in two weeks against Lokomotiva in Kranjčevićeva. Next home game is few days later, on the 16th of September when Dinamo will host – Arsenal.
