Player ratings

Benjamin Dulčić, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.84

A mark of 7.84 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad

Tempers go at Hrvatski Dragovoljac

Leandro Chaparro 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Hrvatski Dragovoljac against Imotski

1‑3 to Imotski, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Filip Šušković-Jakopac

“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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Antonio Jakoliš

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Leandro Chaparro brings the grey hairs Hrvatski Dragovoljac lacked

At 35, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.

Squad

Luis Ibáñez left out for tactical reasons at Hrvatski Dragovoljac

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.

Squad

A season on the outside for Leandro Chaparro

He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Hrvatski Dragovoljac has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.

Market

The shop window has Mateo Tomić in it

Hrvatski Dragovoljac have let the market know Mateo Tomić can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

In brief
