Gorica maintain second place with comfortable victory over Karlovac
Gorica secured a 37:31 win against Karlovac in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon. The result keeps them second in the table with 17 points from 14 games. They have won eight, drawn five and lost just once this season.
And here's the thing — the margin of victory tells you where Gorica stand at this stage. They dominated from start to finish, never allowing Karlovac to get within striking distance. The hosts ran out comfortable winners in front of their home crowd.
To be fair, this follows a pattern Gorica have shown in recent outings. Their last five fixtures read: 35:35 with Sesvete, 32:27 against Trogir, 29:32 away to Dugo Selo, 30:35 versus Zagreb and 27:35 against Nexe. They tend to score freely but also concede — consistency remains the question mark.
By then, Karlovac had no answer to the pace Gorica applied. The visitors struggled to find their rhythm and could only manage 31 goals in return. This was never going to be a contest once the hosts got going.
The result extends Gorica's unbeaten run and maintains pressure on whoever sits at the top. With one defeat from 14 matches, they remain in strong contention for the title. Three points now puts them within reach of the leaders.
