Maksimir Miracle: Dinamo Break Thun Hearts in Extra-Time Thriller
Must-Watch Futmetrix Score: 100/100. An unforgettable Champions League qualifier that swung wildly on a second-half red card, culminating in a dramatic extra-time fightback that will live long in the memory.
The Early Shock
FC Thun stunned the Stadion Maksimir crowd with a blistering start that defied all pre-match logic. Within just four minutes, B. Labeau silenced the home support, slotting home a clinical opener to rattle the hosts. The Swiss side didn't stop there. Continuing their ruthless efficiency on the counter, M. Burki doubled their advantage in the 22nd minute, creating a nightmare scenario for Dinamo Zagreb in this crucial Champions League qualifier. Despite facing immense Stakes, Zagreb dominated possession early on, hoarding the ball with 76% control while probing for weaknesses. Yet, Thun’s low-block resistance held firm against the initial waves of pressure. The visitors looked entirely comfortable defending their two-goal cushion, absorbing a barrage of long-range efforts and set-pieces without breaking a sweat during a tense opening half.
The Pivot
The complexion of the tie changed completely in a singular, chaotic moment. Hero turned to villain in the 67th minute when goalscorer M. Burki received a straight red card for a desperate holding foul. This dismissal destroyed the Balance of the match. Smelling blood in the water, Zagreb launched an unyielding attacking siege, piling bodies forward to exploit their numerical advantage. The breakthrough finally arrived in the 74th minute via a brilliant strike from D. Beljo. Managerial genius then took center stage as a pair of super subs combined to erase Thun's lead. Just moments after coming off the bench, F. Topic whipped a perfect delivery to L. Kacavenda, who equalized in the 78th minute. The Maksimir crowd erupted as all momentum shifted to the Croatian giants.
Extra-Time Euphoria
Normal time concluded at 2-2, setting the stage for a grueling extra-time period where the physical Intensity tested both squads to their absolute limits. Zagreb’s relentless corner pressure—racking up 14 in total—pinned the ten men of Thun deep inside their own penalty area. Miha Zajc pulled the strings masterfully in midfield, orchestrating wave after wave of attack, while Sergi Domínguez snuffed out any rare counter-attacks with elite defensive awareness. The dam finally broke in the 112th minute. M. Valincic latched onto a defense-splitting pass from J. Misic, burying the winner to complete a legendary 3-2 comeback. This victory sends Zagreb surging forward in the qualifying rounds, leaving a shattered but proud Thun side wondering what might have been.
Key Questions

Exceptionally dramatic. Breaking a grueling deadlock in the 112th minute, his strike completed a 3-2 comeback and ignited wild celebrations at Stadion Maksimir.
What is the Futmetrix Score?
The Futmetrix Score is our 0-100 verdict on how entertaining a match is. We look at intensity, balance, stakes, and star quality to tell you if it's worth your time.
A Routine European Night Awaits in Zagreb
Skip It Futmetrix Score: 21/100. An overwhelming mismatch makes this second qualifying round tie more of a formality than a spectacle.
The Setup
Dinamo Zagreb welcome FC Thun to Stadion Maksimir on July 28, 2026, for a UEFA Champions League qualifying clash that feels decidedly one-sided. The home side are massive favourites here, pulling the overall Balance rating down significantly. With a modest Form rating and a severe lack of marquee talent pushing Stars into the basement, this fixture lacks the usual continental glamour. The Stakes are purely about surviving the qualifying rounds to reach the lucrative main draw, but the gap in pure quality suggests the Croatian champions will control the tempo entirely.
Key Battle
The Swiss visitors face a monumental task in breaking through the Croatian lines. Expect the away side's attacking unit to struggle massively against a rigid backline marshalled by Sergi Domínguez. In midfield, L. Stojković will dictate the tempo, starving the visitors of possession and keeping them pinned back. Even if Thun manage a rare foray forward on the counter, they must find a way past D. Livaković between the sticks, a task that looks beyond their current attacking capabilities.
Our Prediction
The hosts will dictate this from the very first whistle. Thun will likely sit deep in a low block and attempt to frustrate, but Dinamo’s sheer superiority will break them down eventually. We expect a comfortable 3-0 victory for the home side, effectively ending the tie as a contest before they even pack their bags for the return leg.
