Jadran LP — Kustosija: 1:0, First NL

Jadran LP beat Kustošija 1:0 in the First National League regular season seventh round on Saturday. The result keeps the hosts top of the table while the visitors remain rooted to the bottom. It was a low-key affair until the final quarter of the match.

Things settled into a rhythm after the opening exchanges. A yellow card for the home side at thirty minutes showed early tension, and Kustošija responded with their own booking at sixty-six. Both teams held back, content to test each other without committing too much.

And here's the thing — we'd put money on Jadran LP winning this one, though only with forty-four per cent confidence. The prediction held up. By then the visitors had dug in well enough to keep it close.

The breakthrough came at the eighty-fifth minute when Jadran LP finally broke the deadlock. It was a decisive moment in a match decided by three or four flashes rather than sustained pressure. Kustošija had been organised but could not find an answer.

The hosts added another booking in the final minute of normal time, then Kustošija picked up a second in stoppage time. Four yellows in total, none for anything more serious than a late challenge or a protest.

Jadran LP extend their unbeaten run to eight games with this result. They sit on fourteen points from seven matches, with four wins and two draws. Kustošija remain fifteenth with just six points and one victory in the same number of outings.
