International Club Friendly – 3 July 2026
NK Brinje Grosuplje were left shell-shocked as Dinamo Zagreb put nine unanswered goals past them in a one-sided international club friendly on the night of 2–3 July 2026. The match, played at a neutral venue, showcased the gulf in class between the Croatian powerhouse and the Slovenian second-tier side.
First Half Onslaught
From the opening whistle, Dinamo Zagreb took complete control. By halftime, they had already built a commanding lead, with goals coming from multiple sources. The visitors’ high press and seamless passing cut through the Brinje defence time and again, leaving the home side with few answers. The scoreline at the break stood at 5–0, effectively ending the contest before the second half began.
Second Half Continuation
The second half followed a similar pattern. Dinamo continued to pour forward, adding four more goals to complete the 9–0 demolition. The Brinje defence, though valiant in patches, could not cope with the pace and movement of the Dinamo attack. The Croatian side’s substitutes also made an impact, showing depth in their squad ahead of the upcoming season.
Standout Performers
- Forward line: Dinamo’s front three caused havoc all night, combining for six of the nine goals.
- Midfield control: The visitors dominated possession, recording over 70% and creating more than 20 chances.
- Defensive solidity: Dinamo’s backline barely faced a threat, keeping a clean sheet with ease.
For NK Brinje Grosuplje, the friendly served as a stark reality check but also valuable experience against elite opposition. Dinamo Zagreb, meanwhile, will take confidence from this emphatic performance as they continue their pre-season preparations.
