Croatia round-up: Emphatic win for Dinamo

NK Dinamo Zagreb kept the pressure on leaders NK Zagreb with a 4-0 defeat of NK Papuk Kamen Ingrad Venika on Saturday.

Dinamo hit four
Second-placed Dinamo gave Papuk a footballing lesson at the Maksimir stadium. The visitors may have held out for 37 minutes, but from the moment Dario Zahora broke the deadlock there was only ever going to be one winner. Silvio Maric doubled Dinamo's advantage ten minutes after the interval, and Vladimir Petrovic and Renato Pilipovic capped a stunning performance with strikes in the 80th and 83rd minutes.

Marsonia grab a point
Elsewhere, Dinko Rosandic grabbed a last-minute equaliser as NK Marsonia stole a point against NK Varteks, for whom Oskar Drobne opened the scoring. NK Zadarkomerc beat HNK Rijeka 2-0, Ante Jurvejic's 87th-minute strike making sure of all three points after Slavisa Pintar's opener.

Šibenik cruise to victory
Ivan Milas, Ivan Radeljic and Dragan Pesic did the damage as HNK Šibenik cruised to a 3-0 win over NK Slaven Belupo, while a goal at the end of each half put paid to NK Hrvatski Dragovoljac's hopes of taking anything from their meeting with NK Pomorac. Stjephan Ostojlic and Senad Rozajac were the scorers. In Saturday's other game, NK Cakovec went down 2-0 against NK Osijek with Dumitru Mitu and Kresimir Brkic doing the damage.
