Match

Segesta tear Uljanik Pula apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 4‑1 against Uljanik Pula, and it could have been more.

Player ratings

Both of them Luka Kožić's — 8.12

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.12, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Match

Segesta refuse to drop out of the race

Position 3, 45 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Match

Nobody wins at Segesta

13 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Player ratings

Patrik Horvat, 18, steals the show — 7.67

Marked 7.67 at 18, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Squad

Stipo Marković falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The terraces

One of their own: Éric Chardey

He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Uwem Alexander

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

9 new faces, and Segesta are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

In brief

  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
  • The dugout When it matters, Patrik Horvat plays
  • Boardroom Belts tighten at Segesta

Player ratings

Patrik Horvat, 18, steals the show — 8.20

Marked 8.20 at 18, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Squad

Patrik Horvat is the real thing at 18

A season average of 7.01 at an age when most of his year group are still in the youth team. Segesta know what they have, and so, by now, does everybody else.

Squad

Stipo Marković 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 Segesta this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces

Segesta supporters have found a favourite in Éric Chardey

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Éric Chardey has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

Segesta see off Djakovo Croatia

Three points for Segesta, 2‑0 the final word against Djakovo Croatia in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Match

Segesta make home a hard place to visit

8 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Looking ahead

The big one: Kustosija come into view

Two sides from the top of the table, one afternoon, and a month of talk decided in ninety minutes. Segesta will not use the word title this week and will not stop thinking it.

Squad

A row about effort at Segesta

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Tonći Kukoč-Petraello was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

“I want to play”: Teo Novak speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.

In brief

  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
  • The dugout No hiding place for Marko Brkić
  • The dugout When it matters, Patrik Horvat plays

Squad

Tonći Kukoč-Petraello 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 Segesta this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

A bad afternoon for Segesta against Hrvatski Dragovoljac

1‑2 to Hrvatski Dragovoljac, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Dino Špehar

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Words at Segesta training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Éric Chardey 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.

Player ratings

Patrik Horvat runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Ivan Kapac was the difference for Segesta

Marked 7.76. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

The dugout

Mateo Kramaric faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Mateo Kramaric after 1‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout

Filip Holjevac is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

Market

Segesta put Dino Špehar up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Dino Špehar may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

In brief
