'Petarda' Zrinjski at the start of European autumn

(Patria) - Zrinjski players tonight thrashed Lincoln Red Imps, the champion of Gibraltar, at the start of the Conference League group stage.

Igor Štimac's team celebrated with a score of 5:0 in Mostar, and the current champion of Bosnia and Herzegovina did a huge job in the first half, writes Faktor.

Zrinjski started aggressively towards the guests' goal from the start, and they capitalized on their better play in the 12th minute when Vranjković crossed from the right side, and Bilbija converted the low cross into a goal.

Three minutes later, Bilbija could have scored another goal, but Zrinjski's captain failed to hit the net from five meters after a pass from Ćuže.

The score changed again in the 23rd minute. Dujmović scored after a corner kick by Đurasek.

Lincoln conceded for the third time in the 40th minute. After Dujmović, the goal went to another defender - Jakovljević.

At the beginning of the second half, the guests managed to put some pressure on Karačić's goal. In the 62nd minute, the crossbar was Zrinjski's ally after a long-range shot by Mandi.

Seven minutes later, Lincoln was completely sunk after a goal by substitute Damascan. The Moldovan scored his first goal in the jersey of the Mostar club, five minutes after replacing Bilbija.

Zrinjski's captain was not overly satisfied with the substitution, which he showed with gestures, and after leaving the field, he went straight to the locker room.

Before the end of the match, another substitute scored. Mikić put the icing on the cake five minutes before the end.

In the second round, on October 23, Zrinjski will face German Bundesliga team Mainz.
