Dinamo convincing in Čakovec, Stojaković scores twice on his debut in the blue shirt
Međimurje – Dinamo 1-4
Dinamo's young forward Aleks Stojaković found the net twice on his debut. In a friendly in Čakovec, their third outing under head coach Jerko Leko, the Maksimir side beat Međimurje 4-1, and this match will be remembered for the debut of the Slovenian forward, who joined Dinamo this summer from Lokomotiva. Stojaković has only just recovered from injury and played in the blue shirt for the first time. And he marked his debut with two goals.
The first to score, however, was Miha Zajc, who wore the captain's armband on this occasion. In the 15th minute, Iker Almena played a short, vertical ball into the box, Zajc dribbled past two defenders and hit the top corner.
The Blues came close again in the 19th minute, when Bruno Goda crossed and Smail Prevljak, at the far post, headed the ball against the crossbar. Two minutes later, though, Dinamo's second goal arrived. Sergi Dominguez led the attack, skilfully slipped between two defenders and then placed the ball precisely into the net from 18 metres.
Paul Tabinas soon after played a brilliant return pass, and Mateo Lisica struck powerfully from 10 metres, but goalkeeper Martin Štajcar managed to stop the ball.
The Blues struck again in the 36th minute. Zajc played a short pass into the box, Kirill Kravtsov deftly controlled the ball on the left side, then shook off his marker with a superb turn and finished into the far corner from around ten metres.
The third goal came in the 52nd minute. Kravtsov sent a long ball to the left wing, where Mislav Oršić neatly brought it down with his chest, raced into the box and whipped in a sharp, low cross to the far post. Stojaković ran onto it and, from close range, stuck out a foot and pushed the ball into the net for his first goal in a Dinamo shirt.
The hosts pulled one back in the 67th minute. Lovro Cesar waited for the ball on the left after it deflected off a block and neatly sent it into the far bottom corner. Stojaković wrapped up the scoring in the 76th minute with his second goal. Matteo Perez Vinlöf crossed into the box, and in the scramble the ball was first picked up by Dinamo midfielder Lautaro Ultra, then Borna Orlić deftly flicked it into a short return pass, and the young Dinamo forward struck it first time into the net for Dinamo's fourth goal.
