A one-man rearguard from Josip Posavec
There were 11 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Podbeskidzie come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Lokomotiva Zagreb did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

The wait goes on for Lokomotiva Zagreb
5 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Petar Andrić’s move to Podbrezova falls through
The deal that would have taken Petar Andrić to Podbrezova has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Lokomotiva Zagreb with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Thibault Rodriguez will not be coming to Lokomotiva Zagreb

HNK Vukovar 1991 tell Lokomotiva Zagreb: Antonio Đaković is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

HNK Rijeka join the queue for Marcel Lorber
Add another name to the list: HNK Rijeka have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Marcel Lorber. The answer from Lokomotiva Zagreb has not changed — yet.
