(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Jinnam Bae = It was former K-rigger Mislav Orsic (29, Croatian Dynamo Zagreb) who left Tottenham Hotspur (England) early from the European professional football stage.
Orsic scored three goals alone in the home game of the 2020-2021 Europa League Round of 16 held at Maximir Stadium in Zagreb, Croatia on the morning of the 19th (Korean time), leading Zagreb to a 3-0 win.
Zagreb, who lost 0-2 in the 1st leg away game on the 12th, advanced to the quarterfinals ahead of Tottenham with 3-2 in the combined score of the 1st and 2nd matches due to Orsic’s big success.
Zagreb finished 0-0 in the first half, making it difficult to reverse their first leg defeat.
However, in the second half of the year, Orsic exploded and wrote a thrilling drama.

Orsic scored a catch-up goal with a picture-like right-footed hoist from the left corner of the penalty area in the 17th minute of the second half, and shot the signal of the band electrode.
In the second half of the 38th minute, Iyai Athiemwen poked the ball from the right inside the penalty area to the front of the goal area, finishing with a concise right-footed shot, resulting in a 2-2 tie from the combined score of the 1st and 2nd matches.
Eventually, the match was extended, and Orsic finished a hat-trick with fantastic dribbling and decisive power in the first minute of the second half. Driving the ball around the half line, Orsic scored the final goal with a right-footed shot from the left side of the penalty spot.

He played four seasons at Jeonnam Dragons and Ulsan Hyundai, scoring 28 goals and 15 assists in 101 matches in the K-League.
Orsic joined Jeonnam in 2015 and made her name public by scoring 14 goals and 11 assists in the K-League for two seasons.
After that, he briefly advanced to the Chinese Super League, then returned to the K-League wearing an Ulsan uniform in February 2017, and scored 10 goals and 3 assists in all 38 K-League 1 matches that year.
Orsic left Ulsan in the middle of the 2018 season and returned to the European stage in his home country’s strongest club, Zagreb uniform.
Taking an active part in the K-League and making a soft landing in the Croatian League, Orsic made his A-match debut as the Croatian national team in the qualifying match for the 2020 European Football Championship (Euro 2020) against Azerbaijan in September 2019.

This time, the stage was changed to the Europa League, but he achieved a hat-trick against Tottenham, the UEFA Champions League runner-up two years ago.
In an interview with BT Sports, the hosting broadcaster of the tournament after the game, Orsich said, “I don’t know what to say,” and “It’s a dream-like and historical result.”
He continued, saying, “One of the great victories in the history of the club,” and “we all played together as one, and it was a game that will be memorable.”
