Tonight we found out the participants of the Cup final for the 2023/24 season. They are Dinamo and Rijeka, who were better than Lokomotiva and Hajduk in the semi-finals, both with a minimum score of 1-0. Rijeka’s hero is Smolčić, and Dinamo’s Petković. Although Kulenović was the scorer, Petković was again fatal for “Bile”…
Thus, in the Cup final, for the first time since 2019, we will see a clash between Zagreb and Rijeka, and it will be the fifth meeting between these two clubs in the Cup final.
Dinamo will attack for its 18th cup, while Rijeka is looking for its seventh. Rijeka and Dinamo met in the Cup finals in 1994, 2014, 2017 and 2019.
