Zamak secured a 31-20 victory over Osijek Women in the 1st Women's Hockey League on Sunday. The away side moved clear of their hosts in the standings with a performance that reflected their recent form. By then, the gap between the two teams had become impossible to ignore.
Osijek sit 13th with zero points from four matches, all drawn. Their recent record tells the story — losses to Split, Koka, and Sinj, with only one narrow win over Dugo Selo. They have been drawing games they should be winning.
Zamak, meanwhile, sit fifth and remain unbeaten after three wins and a draw. Their last five results include victories over Bjelovar, Rudar Labin, Virovitica, and Bled. And here's the thing — consistency like that does not happen by accident.
The prediction called for an away win at 57 per cent confidence, and the result confirmed that assessment. Osijek had not lost but had not won either, and against a side in full flight, a draw was never going to satisfy.
The goal difference now stretches to 11 points between them, and while the season is young, the hierarchy is becoming clear.
