Englezi dižu Vatrenog u nebesa, zna se i tko je najveći gubitnik: ‘Još jedna majstorska izvedba‘

Sandro Kulenović proved his impact in Torino’s draw against Bologna, scoring the equalizer in the 77th minute and earning himself the match's best player award. The Croatian forward came off the bench in the second half, replacing one of Torino’s central defenders, and immediately changed the game’s momentum. His entry into the match saw Torino shift to a two-striker formation, increasing pressure on Bologna’s defense. Kulenović’s goal came after a poor save from Bologna’s goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski, who failed to clear the ball at the edge of the box. The 19-year-old striker then struck a precise low shot into the net, securing the point for Torino. His performance was marked by three shots on target, two aerial duels won, and a crucial contribution to the team’s attacking play. The decision to bring Kulenović on was made by coach Ignazio Abate, who had struggled with finding solutions in attack during the first half. After over an hour of ineffective possession, Abate opted for a tactical switch, introducing the young forward to inject fresh energy into the squad. Kulenović’s influence was immediate, helping Torino regain control of the game and forcing Bologna into defensive errors. His goal not only brought the score level but also lifted the morale of the entire team, giving them renewed confidence in their ability to compete. Kulenović’s performance has been praised by the media, with the CuoreToro website rating him 6.5 out of 10. The site highlighted his impact on the match, noting how he helped Torino take control of the game and push forward effectively. Despite being a regular in summer training, Kulenović had limited opportunities this season before returning to the starting XI in this crucial match. His goal and overall display have placed him back in the spotlight, proving once again that he can deliver under pressure. In another match, Dugopolje secured a narrow 3-2 victory over Dinamo II Zagreb at home. The hosts took an early lead through goals from Roko Kurtović and Josip Vuković, with the latter having previously scored for Dugopolje in a previous encounter. However, Dinamo II responded strongly, reducing the deficit twice before the final whistle. Josip Brundić sealed the win for Dugopolje in the 77th minute, ensuring a hard-fought victory. Coach Eldin Čengić expressed satisfaction with the result but acknowledged challenges faced in the second half, particularly in defending against the younger players from Dinamo II. He praised the performance of both goalkeepers, calling Dinamo’s Taija Žnuderl a “hero” for his solid displays. Meanwhile, in England, Luka Vušković continued to impress for Tottenham, playing a key role in their 3-0 victory over Arsenal. The Croatian defender showcased his composure and anticipation, making several crucial interventions to prevent Arsenal from breaking through. His performance earned high praise from British media, with some outlets comparing him to top-tier defenders. Analysts noted that Vušković’s ability to read the game and intercept threats was instrumental in the win. His consistent performances have drawn comparisons to world-class talent, with many suggesting that Tottenham’s decision to sell him last summer was a costly mistake. As he continues to develop, Vušković is becoming a focal point for fans both in Croatia and beyond.
