Match17 Oct 2026

11 unbeaten for Dugopolje

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 11 matches without defeat is a foundation Dugopolje did not have in the autumn.

No sign of nerves from Mislav Ćutuk at 19 — 7.93

The hardest thing about being 19 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Mislav Ćutuk did not need any: 7.93, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Gabriel Melo: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Dugopolje have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

Nobody could get near Ivan Delić

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

Dugopolje supporters have found a favourite in Mislav Ćutuk

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 19-year-old it feels ownership of. Mislav Ćutuk 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.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Roko Kurtović pulls a muscle — 14 days out

The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 14 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Ivan Barić 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 Dugopolje this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Gianluca Cangiano dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Match17 Oct 2026

Mislav Ćutuk rescues a point for Dugopolje

It needed Mislav Ćutuk to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Lucko, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Nobody could get near Bruno Zdunić

Successful dribbles: 63. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match19 Aug 2026

Antonio Repić sends Dugopolje through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Antonio Repić obliged against Rudes. 3‑2 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Dugopolje.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Dugopolje

Tomislav Adolf Tomić 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.

The terraces24 Aug 2026

Dugopolje supporters have found a favourite in Ante Utrobičić

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Ante Utrobičić 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.

Squad24 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Tomislav Adolf Tomić

“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.

Match22 Aug 2026

Dugopolje get the job done against Segesta

A 1‑0 win over Segesta, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words at Dugopolje training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gabriel Melo 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 ratings24 Aug 2026

Jean Galindo stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.34 on the card, and the Dugopolje support went home talking about one name.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Bruno Zdunić named player of the week

One weekend, judged against everybody else's. Bruno Zdunić has come out on top of it, and for most footballers a weekly award is the only silverware a career ever produces.

Dimitar Trajkov runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 41. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Gabriel Melo 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 Dugopolje this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Dominik Balić 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.

Market17 Aug 2026

Antonio Repić attracts admirers

The name of Antonio Repić has come up in conversations Dugopolje were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

A masterclass from Bruno Zdunić

Marked 8.17 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Dugopolje pick somebody else ahead of Gianluca Cangiano

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A move Jean Galindo would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Jean Galindo is living that version at Dugopolje, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tomislav Adolf Tomić 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 Dugopolje this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Gabriel Melo signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Gabriel Melo and Dugopolje agree another 4 years.

Match8 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for Dugopolje against Cibalia

0‑1 to Cibalia, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market10 Aug 2026

Dugopolje and Festim Shatri are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.
