RK Vojvodina — RK Zagreb, Club Friendly

RK Zagreb claimed a 24-21 victory over RK Vojvodina in a club friendly match on Tuesday evening. The fixture took place on 18 August 2026, with the Croatian side taking all three points in Belgrade. It was a straightforward result, though not one that came without effort from either camp. To be fair, Vojvodina's recent form suggested they would not make it easy. They had won their last five meetings, including victories over Crvena Zvezda and Kikinda in April. That run of results gave them confidence going into this encounter. Zagreb arrived with their own momentum, having beaten Tatabánya and Kielce in mid-August. The Polish side had given them a tough test at home, losing 29-26 before bouncing back against Tata. And here's the thing — these were not friendly fixtures for either team. The final scoreline tells you little about the flow of the game. Vojvodina scored 21 goals against a Zagreb side that had been conceding between 24 and 29 in their recent outings. By then, you'd expect a tighter contest, and that is what materialised. No table position matters in a friendly, but the result sends a message. Zagreb proved they can still compete away from home, while Vojvodina's winning streak has now ended after five consecutive victories.
