Slavonija Požega defeated Oriolik Oriovac 4-0 in the Round of 32 of the Cup on Tuesday evening. The hosts made it three goals better than they had done when the sides met last. Oriolik's record against Požega has not improved since that previous encounter.
Recent form told the story in advance. Požega had lost two of their last three league games, including a 0-1 defeat to Jaruš. Oriolik had lost four of their five most recent matches, with only a goalless draw against Jadran Poreč standing out.
The visitors carried a particular weight into this fixture. They had lost 0-3 to Slavonija Požega in September 2024 and entered the cup tie knowing they needed to change their pattern. The result meant another heavy defeat for a side that has lost several matches by large margins recently.
Požega's last competitive win had come 3-0 against Moslavina on August 26th. After that victory they had dropped six points from two games before returning to winning ways. The clean-sheet run came to an end for Oriolik, who have kept only one clean sheet in their last five matches.
The victory moves Požega into the next round of the Cup. Oriolik's cup campaign ends without achieving anything beyond what they had managed in their previous meeting against the same opponents.
