GNK Dinamo Zagreb secured an important 2-1 away victory against Gorica, with coach Mario Kovačević highlighting the team's character despite facing challenges. Having already clinched the championship title, the Blues demonstrated the mental fortitude required to maintain their winning streak.

Immediately after the match, Kovačević emphasized a strong start and an early goal that "made the home team a bit more nervous." However, a quick concession from a set piece brought the match back to level terms. The coach admitted it "wasn't our best match" and that many mistakes were made, but praised the players for ultimately seizing their chance for victory. He also expressed concern about potential complacency after the title celebration.

The victory was also overshadowed by news regarding the squad. Sergi Dominguez received his fourth yellow card, meaning he will miss the upcoming derby against Hajduk in Zagreb on May 9th. Additionally, Scott McKenna felt his adductor, and the coach hopes for his recovery for the crucial match. Bruno Goda also has minor problems, adding further challenges for the team.

Key encounters lie ahead for GNK Dinamo Zagreb. Following the Hajduk match, the Croatian Cup final against Rijeka awaits. Kovačević granted the players two days off to recover, stressing the desire to finish the season in a deserving manner. "We will give our all in the match against Hajduk regardless of the fact that we've mathematically secured the championship title," the coach stated.

Special attention was given to Dion Drena Beljo, who has scored 29 goals this season in the HNL and is aiming to surpass Eduardo da Silva's record of 34 goals. Nevertheless, Kovačević substituted him in the 62nd minute. The coach clearly stated that they "will do everything to help Beljo reach the record, but we are Dinamo, we won't put personal goals first," also pointing out concerns about player fatigue.
