The first-half in Croatia ends with no goals separating the teams. Joey O'Brien and Shels effectively limited Rijeka's attack until the 23rd-minute, where Shels' goalkeeper, Wessel Speel, saved a shot from Amir Gojak. Shels faced further attempts from Ante Butic and Niko Jankovic but maintained a strong defense. Despite their solid performance, Shels was unable to create significant chances against Rijeka's goal. The only setback for Shels was the injury to player Sean Boyd, which marked a negative note in the otherwise competitive half.
The Spanish arbiter's whistle signals the end of an interesting first-half in Croatia with nothing separating the teams at the interval.
Joey O'Brien and Shels have successfully constricted Rijeka's attack until the 23rd-minute when Amir Gojak's effort was smothered.
Two further long-range chances fell to Ante Butic and Niko Jankovic, but Shels' shot-stopper was more than equal to both.
Shels have yet to really trouble the host's goal, and losing Sean Boyd to injury is the only negative.
