The opening minutes of the first half saw an even contest. However, the hosts gradually gained momentum and had at least two ideal opportunities to open the scoring, but the teams went into halftime scoreless - 0:0.
And at the beginning of the second half, the Croats' advantage materialized into a goal: Grgić proved to be the most skillful on the rebound - 1:0.
