ZAGREB (Interstat) — Trnje and Dugo Selo played to a 0-0 draw in a global football match on Friday, leaving both sides without a breakthrough after a tightly contested encounter. The home side sought to impose itself and build attacks through the midfield, while Dugo Selo stayed compact and worked to limit space in the final third. Neither team found the finishing touch required to separate the contest, and the match ended level. The result added another draw to Trnje’s campaign and kept Dugo Selo from adding to its win total.

The opening exchanges set a cautious tone, with both teams prioritizing defensive shape and avoiding early openings. Trnje moved the ball around in search of an angle into the penalty area, but Dugo Selo’s back line held its positions and forced the home side to recycle possession. Dugo Selo, meanwhile, looked for ways to break forward when Trnje committed numbers ahead of the ball. The contest remained balanced, and neither side was able to establish a sustained spell of pressure. The home crowd urged Trnje forward, but Dugo Selo remained organized and difficult to break down.

The only yellow card of the match arrived in the 56th minute, when Dugo Selo’s Saric M. was booked. The caution added to the physical nature of the contest without changing its overall shape. Trnje continued to press for a goal, while Dugo Selo defended with discipline and sought to counter when possible. As the second half progressed, the match opened slightly, but clear scoring chances remained scarce. Both sides made efforts to push forward, yet the final pass and the finishing touch eluded them. The score remained unchanged through the closing stages.
