RK Zagreb moved further clear at the top of the Premier League with a 34-27 victory over Dugo Selo in their latest fixture. The visitors maintained their unbeaten run across fourteen league games, collecting 28 points from 14 wins. Dugo Selo remain in third place with 16 points from eight wins and six draws.
The result extends Zagreb's lead at the summit and adds to a recent run of mixed results against European opposition. They lost 34-30 to PSG on 16 September and drew 24-24 with Trim Trebnje on 22 August before winning 31-29 against Cella on 9 September. Dugo Selo's last five fixtures have produced three wins and two defeats, including a 29-40 loss to Zagreb earlier in the season.
By then the visitors had already established their advantage on the road. The scoreline reflected their consistency away from home, where they have kept their side in contention for the title. Dugo Selo know they need the points badly to close the gap on the leaders.
The difference between the sides was visible in the final tally. Zagreb's perfect record means they have not dropped a single point this season. Dugo Selo's six draws show a team that keeps their side in it but struggles to close out results.
With 14 games played by both teams, the table now shows a twelve-point gap between first and third. The standings carry meaning when there is a change of place or a gap in points. Here the leader is holding on, and the chase continues.
