Marked for Jon Mersinaj

Squad11 Jan 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Juan Galeano

138 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. NK Osijek lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match6 Jan 2027

NK Osijek march on in the cup

Lokomotiva Zagreb are out and NK Osijek go through, 1‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Match6 Jan 2027

Jon Mersinaj wins it after the whistle should have gone

121 minutes played. Jon Mersinaj found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Lokomotiva Zagreb went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Market11 Jan 2027

NK Osijek turn down Volos NPS for Kemal Ademi

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Player ratings11 Jan 2027

Nothing got past Mario Mladenovski

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 27 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Match6 Jan 2027

Whatever happens, NK Osijek do not lose

7 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Tempers go at NK Osijek

Arnel Jakupović was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market11 Jan 2027

Emin Hasić attracts admirers

The name of Emin Hasić has come up in conversations NK Osijek were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

The terraces11 Jan 2027

The crowd has taken to Luka Vrbančić

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Juan Galeano

154 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. NK Osijek lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Boardroom28 Dec 2026

Matija Jesenović will join NK Osijek for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Matija Jesenović has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means NK Osijek have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Match12 Sep 2026

The wait goes on for NK Osijek

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

A defender's goal wins it for NK Osijek — 7.71

1 for Jon Mersinaj, marked 7.71, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Market14 Sep 2026

Sibenik come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and NK Osijek did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Domagoj Bukvić scored one and made one — 7.74

Two of the goals had his name somewhere on them, which is the afternoon a manager wants from anybody asked to both create and finish. 7.74, and 2 involvements.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Nobody could get near Nail Omerović

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Juan Galeano in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at NK Osijek this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Marko Malenica gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Words at NK Osijek training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Tonio Teklić is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Loan watch14 Sep 2026

Matej Grahovac wants to come home

“I did not go to HNK Rijeka to sit and watch. I want to come back to NK Osijek and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 5 matches say the rest.
