Matej Tomić: 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.” Radnik Krizevci have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

A hand in 2 of them from Kain Adom — 7.95
Marked 7.95. There is a kind of forward whose value only shows up when you count what he was involved in rather than what he finished, and this is the day that argument makes itself.

Filip Vajdovčić was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 19. 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.

No hiding place for Matko Zirdum
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Matko Zirdum, and the manager let it.
In brief
- The dugout Noah Nemorin frozen out at Radnik Krizevci
- Player ratings A masterclass from Emanuel Mađarić
