Nobody could get near Filip Vajdovčić
Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The afternoon belonged to Tomislav Grdenić
A mark of 7.44, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Fran Vrsaljko: “We have to be better”
“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

The manager makes an example of Filip Cetina
“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.
In brief
- The dugout The plan did not have a place for Mario Nikolić
- Match No goals between Grobnican and Dugo Selo
- Squad Lorenzo Biliboc speaks, and the room listens
