hjk not finished despite dinamo defeat published: wednesday 27 july 2011, 21.21cet hjk helsinki 1-2 nk dinamo zagreb the croatian champions came from behind to win in helsinki thanks to a rafinha own goal and sammir's strike 13 minutes from time.

for all their early dominance, hjk were pegged back when brazilian defender rafinha turned fatos bećiraj's dangerous cross into his own net. the visitors, now growing in confidence, were unfortunate not to take the lead before the break. ivan krstanović's effort was parried as far as bećiraj but the montenegro forward failed to convert.
berat sadik's header was well saved by kelava early in the second half before milan badelj's deflected shot almost deceived wallén. the pivotal moment came 13 minutes from time, substitute ante rukavina finding sammir, who unleashed an unstoppable drive past wallén to give dinamo the advantage going into the second leg in zagreb on wednesday.
