Osijek and Slaven Belupo opened the Opus Arena, where over 9,000 people gathered, and the players from Koprivnica had the first shot at the new stadium. However, in the fourth minute, Osijek took the lead, and the first scorer in the new arena was Ramon Mierez.
The hosts could not even imagine that they would open a new stadium in this way. This is undoubtedly the best story of the first round of the Croatian league. With a 6:1 victory, Osijek’s players gained confidence before the European match against Hungarian ZTE.
Opus Arena looks fantastic. The experience is majestic. The game was phenomenal. This environment can bring progress to the Osijek team. Osijek dominated and was better, although Slaven Belupo had some opportunities until they conceded the fourth, fifth, and sixth goals. Good luck to Osijek against ZTE.
Earlier today, Rijeka beat Rudeš 4:0 at Rujevica.
