Notable games

In the 1984/85 season, Rijeka played 2nd stage of UEFA Cup against Real Madrid. In the first leg at Kantrida, Real had to admit the superiority of Rijeka with the result 3:1. On the second game in Madrid, the controversial decisions of Belgian referee Schoeters helped Real knock Rijeka out of the competition. Schoeters pointed to the spot in 67th minute after fictional penalty situation and even showed 3 strange red cards to Rijeka players, the result was 3:0 for Real. That helped the obviously weaker Real to continue competition. Real Madrid Club de Fútbol is a Spanish sports club most widely known for its professional football team based in Madrid. ...

In the 1998/99 season, Rijeka battled for first place in the league with Croatia Zagreb until the end of the last game. According to wide-spread opinion, Rijeka lost the title due to the unfair judging, which was a product of the fact that Croatia Zagreb was then viewed as a state-club and a must-be-champion. Dinamo is one of the most famous and successful Croatian football clubs. ...
