Matjaž Kek’s Rijeka side have twice defeated Dinamo Zagreb to win the 2013/14 Croatian Cup…
Rijeka went into the match with a 1-0 lead from the first leg, after beating Dinamo at home last week. In the 35th minute of the return leg, the hosts took the lead when Mitrović headed home after a corner kick. Ten minutes before the end, Jugović found Kvržić in the box, and Kvržić found the net to mark the beginning of the celebrations at the packed Kantrida stadium.
It is Rijeka’s 3rd Croatian Cup in their history, after winning two consecutive title in 2005 and 2006. The gold medals and the trophy were presented by the Croatian Football Federation president Davor Šuker and Rijeka president Damir Mišković. (HNS / Drago Sopta)
