Dinamo Zagreb Crushes Karlovac in Cup Rout, Defying Odds
KARLOVAC, Croatia (Interstat) — GNK Dinamo Zagreb delivered a stunning 7-0 victory over host Karlovac 1919 in a Croatian Cup match on Wednesday, a result that wildly contradicted pregame projections. The match at Stadion Branko Čavlović-Čavlek was decided early as Luka Stojković opened the scoring in the 12th minute. Dinamo Zagreb led 3-0 by halftime with additional first-half goals from Mateo Lisica and Fran Topić. The visitors continued their dominance after the break, adding four more goals, including a second from Stojković. The lopsided win defied a statistical model that had given Karlovac a heavy favorite’s chance to win.
