Dinamo Zagreb 3 - 0 A.S Jeunesse Esch
Rados stars as Dinamo register opening-day win
Division 3C - Dinamo Zagreb breezed past newly promoted side A.S Jeunesse Esch 2-0 yesterday, strolling to a comfortable win at Maksimir.
A 36 min Olexandr Buryi goal and a Luis Gonzalez header 6 minutes from regulation were enough to see off a weakened but resilient Jeunesse side. Young winger Ivo Rados once again served up a reminder of why he is so highly regarded, with a splendid display orchestrating the Zagreb attack all afternoon. Although he did not score, Man of the Match Rados notched an assist in the opening goal and was involved heavily in the other.
Dinamo Zagreb fielded 4 new signings, with Arne Repvik and Igor Morozov in defence and Buryi and Gonzalez in the middle of the park. Buryi was forunate as Rados' dangerous cross from the right was deflected off a defender and into his path, but he made no mistake with a rising drive into the opposition net and past stranded Jeunesse goalkeeper Yves Bernard, who had come off his line in an attempt to clear the ball.
A.S Jeunesse Esch were missing star winger Constant Kaïper, but it was just not their day as they struggled to find any sort of form in this match. Jeunesse defender Tor Erling Feen Larsen was having a torrid time containing Zagreb's relentless attacks, and brought down an onrushing Ivo Rados just outside the box in the 83rd min. That earned him a yellow card as Rados took the free kick. The delivery was exquisite and the set-piece perfect as Ruslan Kostishin at the near post drew two defenders with a dummy header and Inaki was on hand to head the ball down to an unmarked Gonzalez. The latter's glancing header gave Bernard no chance, leaving him with nothing to do but pick the ball out of the net.
Jeunesse manager Gijs Simons was gracious in defeat, pointing out that he had not expected much out of this match, and stating that Zagreb were the better team that day.
Dinamo's Jatex Cole told assembled journalists at the post-match conference that he was satisfied with the performance, but thought there was still room for improvement with a few of the players still shaking off the lethargy from the off-season.
"Hopefully, we'll get better as we go," he commented, "It's lucky for us that the first match was a fairly routine one, but I told the players we should have put away more of our chances. Rados did more than was expected of him but some of the players were guilty of wasteful passing and finishing. We'll look to improve before the next match comes around."
Rados and Repvik were also included in the Team of the Round for the division.
