ŠIBENIK, 1 August 2020 – Rijeka has won the Croatian Cup for the second year in a row after defeating Lokomotiva in the final on Saturday night in Šibenik.
A 77th-minute goal from Tibor Halilovic was enough to give Rijeka a 1-0 win the cup final. Lokomotiva, who was playing in their second final, twice hit the bar and were unlucky to take the lead before Halilovic sealed the match late in the second half.
