Marked for Noa Godec

Match7 Nov 2026

Sesvete end the Cibalia run at 9

Every run ends on an afternoon somebody had marked down as routine. This one went 9 matches, which is long enough that a town had stopped counting, and short enough that it will remember exactly who stopped it.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Noa Godec 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 Cibalia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match7 Nov 2026

Sesvete take the points off Cibalia

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad9 Nov 2026

200 appearances for Andrija Bubnjar

200 games in these colours. Service of that kind gets rarer every season, and the crowd knows it.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Costly mistake from Blas Valenzuela

An error at the back is a moment; an error in goal is a goal. Blas Valenzuela knows it, the crowd knew it instantly, and there was nobody behind him to make it anything else.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

Robert Orsic: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Ivo Vukić 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 dugout9 Nov 2026

The manager has not finished forgetting Blas Valenzuela's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

No hiding place for Karlo Kamenar

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Karlo Kamenar, and the manager let it.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Ivan Božić scores twice — 9.01

Two goals and a mark of 9.01 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Up for the corner, and Petar Brlek delivers — 7.96

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Petar Brlek scored, was marked 7.96, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Noa Godec is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Match26 Sep 2026

Cibalia get the job done against Dubrava

A 3‑1 win over Dubrava, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad28 Sep 2026

A falling-out at Cibalia

Filip Mekić and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Robert Orsic has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Robert Orsic on a 3‑1 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

No hiding place for David Bošnjak

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to David Bošnjak, and the manager let it.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Robert Perić-Komšić left out for tactical reasons at Cibalia

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Petar Mišić ran the game

Chances created: 6. Not on the scoresheet and not remotely anonymous — a passing performance that pulled a defence apart without leaving a mark on the column that gets read.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Cibalia make their move for Stipe Jurić

$1.1M on the table at NK Varazdin. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

No deal for Ivijan Svržnjak at that price

Cibalia offered $1.5M; Aluminij said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Cibalia bid $640.0K for Marko Zebić

The offer went to Dinamo Zagreb this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Andrija Bubnjar was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 20. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Match15 Aug 2026

Cibalia refuse to lose to Orijent 1919

A point taken on 89 minutes is worth exactly one point and considerably more than that to a dressing room. This side does not stop, which is a reputation worth more than the result.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Noa Godec

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Noa Godec, and the manager let it.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Cibalia

Britto and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Cibalia

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

The dugout17 Aug 2026

Petar Brlek is still paying for one afternoon at Cibalia

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

In brief
