US teenager Mikaela Shiffrin has won her second World Cup slalom race of the season, with Austria's Kathrin Zettel in second and Nina Loeseth of Norway third.
Reigning Olympic and world champion Shiffrin from Colorado, produced a technically impeccable performance to dominate the first run in Zagreb.
She stayed focused second time out and dominated the opposition with a 1.68 seconds overall advance over Zettel.
It was the 19-year-old's second slalom victory this season after she won at Kuhtai, Austria on Monday.
It was also her second victory at Sljeme, a mountain peak overlooking Zagreb, where Croatia's skiing stars - the Kostelic siblings Janica and Ivica - made their skiing debuts. Shifrin won the Zagreb slalom in 2013.
Sweden's Frida Hansdotter was fourth while World Cup overall leader Tina Maze, who was touted to be the favourite on Sunday along with Shiffrin, in fifth.
