Dinamo Zagreb Beats Sunderland 2-0 in Europa League at Stadium of Light

Match result

Dinamo Zagreb secured a 2-0 victory over Sunderland in the UEFA Europa League at the Stadium of Light.

Luka Stojkovic opened the scoring after controlling a corner with his chest and volleying the ball into the net.

The second goal came when Stojkovic delivered a deep pass that allowed Dion Drena Beljo to finish and make it 2-0.

Dinamo Zagreb played the match without a permanent head coach, operating under interim coach Jerko Leko after the departure of Mario Kovacevic.

The win marked Dinamo Zagreb’s second victory in its last nine European away trips, a record of four wins and three draws in those fixtures.

Sunderland’s unbeaten run in the Europa League ended with this loss.

Regis Le Bris remains Sunderland’s head coach despite recent scrutiny following a 3-1 defeat to Coventry City in the Premier League.

Ahead of the match, Chemsdine Talbi was added to Sunderland’s Europa League squad, replacing Habib Diarra, who is ruled out for six weeks.
