Match Report
Dinamo Zagreb and Viking played out a breathless 2–2 draw in their UEFA Champions League play-off first leg, with all four goals arriving before the break. Dion Drena Beljo opened the scoring in the sixth minute, only for Mateo Lisica to double the home side's advantage four minutes later. Viking hit back through Peter Christiansen in the 26th minute and Zlatko Tripić levelled before half-time, leaving the tie finely poised at the interval.
The second half was a far more subdued affair, with both sides unable to find a decisive goal despite a flurry of substitutions from the 58th minute onwards. Dinamo dominated possession at 60% and registered 21 total shots to Viking's six, though both teams managed just three shots on target apiece, reflecting how the match tightened considerably after the break. Yellow cards for Joe Bell and Moris Valinčić added some late tension without altering the outcome.
The result leaves the tie level heading into the second leg, with Viking having secured a valuable away goal — or rather, an away draw — on Croatian soil. Our pre-match AI model had Dinamo as the most likely winners at 47%, a call that ultimately did not materialise.
