Match17 Mar 2027

Mirko Sušak sends Lokomotiva Zagreb through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Mirko Sušak obliged against HNK Rijeka. 3‑2 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Lokomotiva Zagreb.

Player ratings22 Mar 2027

Both of them Mirko Sušak's — 8.22

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.22, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings22 Mar 2027

Vintage Aleksandar Trajkovski — 7.87

At 34 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.87, and nobody on the pitch better.

Match17 Mar 2027

Nobody wants to play Lokomotiva Zagreb right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad22 Mar 2027

Words exchanged at Lokomotiva Zagreb

Marko Vešović and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The terraces22 Mar 2027

The crowd has taken to Mirko Sušak

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Player ratings22 Mar 2027

One of those days for Marko Rog

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.08, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad22 Mar 2027

Words at Lokomotiva Zagreb training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Tommy Pilling is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout22 Mar 2027

The form table has caught Mirko Marić

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.

Squad21 Dec 2026

A fracture rules Fran Karačić out for 50 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Lokomotiva Zagreb will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Words exchanged at Lokomotiva Zagreb

Petar Zvonimir Kostelac and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

When it matters, Marko Rog plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

Mario Šitum has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Mario Šitum has written the date down.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

Mario Mladenovski knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Lokomotiva Zagreb, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market21 Dec 2026

Tino Jukić linked with a move away

The name of Tino Jukić keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Lokomotiva Zagreb say nothing, which says plenty.

Player ratings16 Nov 2026

Nobody could get near Dušan Vuković

Successful dribbles: 30. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Marko Rog says Lokomotiva Zagreb went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Marko Vešović in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Lokomotiva Zagreb this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad16 Nov 2026

A row about effort at Lokomotiva Zagreb

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Marko Pajač was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Looking ahead16 Nov 2026

Everything rides on NK Varazdin

Both clubs in the mire, one fixture between them, and a ground that will be louder and more frightened than at any point in the season. Lokomotiva Zagreb know what is at stake and so does everybody in the away end.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

No hiding place for Marko Pajač

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Marko Pajač, and the manager let it.

Player ratings16 Nov 2026

Nobody on the pitch touched Aleksandar Trajkovski

7.46, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Lokomotiva Zagreb had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Josip Modric was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Lokomotiva Zagreb dressing room was either.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

The form table has caught Marko Pajač

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.

Match28 Oct 2026

Lokomotiva Zagreb march on in the cup

Sibenik are out and Lokomotiva Zagreb go through, 6‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Match2 Nov 2026

Lokomotiva Zagreb are in real trouble now

Position 8, 10 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Squad2 Nov 2026

A day Oliver Heiðarsson will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Dušan Vuković scores twice — 8.28

Two goals and a mark of 8.28 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

Mate Antunović keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Lokomotiva Zagreb may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Match28 Oct 2026

6 goals as Lokomotiva Zagreb and Sibenik go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Lokomotiva Zagreb and Sibenik, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Match31 Oct 2026

Hajduk Split take the points off Lokomotiva Zagreb

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The terraces2 Nov 2026

The crowd has taken to Dinko Utrobičić

At 17 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Ninety minutes of Oliver Heiðarsson at his very best

Marked 8.50. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Lokomotiva Zagreb.
