Nikola Čavlina is the hero from the spot
A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Nikola Čavlina: 2 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Dinamo Zagreb march on in the cup
Rudes are out and Dinamo Zagreb go through, 2‑2 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Kaïs Anelka puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Dinamo Zagreb, and it is not being withdrawn.
