This weekend, Rijeka hosted Gorica at the Rujevica stadium. Given their poor form, all eyes turned to D. Čop. His last season was impressive; 23 goals in 35 appearances. Čop's presence on the field not only brings experience but also puts pressure on the opponent's defense.

In the first half, Čop showed his ability to hold the ball and create opportunities. In the second half, he added another goal, securing a crucial victory for Rijeka. "We knew we had to win this match to regain our confidence," Čop stated after the game.

Rijeka's coach, Igor Bišćan, praised D. Čop for his hard work on the pitch, emphasizing that he is a role model for younger players. "D. Čop is a leader on the field; his ability to fight in the danger zone is invaluable," Bišćan said. With such form, Čop can be a key player for Rijeka in the remaining matches of the season and potentially lead them to the title.
