Dinamo defeated Rudeš 4:0 at Maksimir on Monday, and the match will also be remembered for the return of Robert Mudražija to SHNL pitches. The favorite of Dinamo's fans came off the bench around the 60th minute and immediately made a good impression, providing an assist for the final 4:0.
His performance was commented on by analyst Hrvoje Vejić in MAXSport's show, who had nothing but praise for the returning player.
"Mudražija is everyone's favorite; I haven't heard anyone who doesn't like him. He's charming and has a style of football that coaches might not always appreciate. He justified coach Kovačević's trust, and I hope he keeps putting in performances like this because that's the only way he can establish himself. Competition at Dinamo is very tough; in any other SHNL club, he would be a standout signing," said Vejić.

On the same day, the Bad Blue Boys celebrate 40 years of existence, and they received congratulations from renowned former footballer and Dinamo fan Zvone Boban.
"To you, without whom nothing is the same - for 40 years, nothing has been the same! To you, who never stopped loving and living the blue - not for a single second of life, not for a single second of any match. To you, because of whom we have the Dinamo we dreamed of for years. In tradition, in rebellion - always your own, forever Dinamo's!" Boban said.
