Marked for Andrej Boric

From our football correspondent Steady

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Boris Benko runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 45. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match12 Sep 2026

8 unbeaten for Zadar

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 8 matches without defeat is a foundation Zadar did not have in the autumn.

Match12 Sep 2026

4 matches without a win for Zadar

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Zadar are no longer polite ones.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Andrej Boric 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.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

A masterclass from Marin Simunovic

Marked 8.01 — 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.

Squad14 Sep 2026

5 new faces, and Zadar are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Match12 Sep 2026

Marin Simunovic rescues a point for Zadar

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

Squad14 Sep 2026

When it matters, Boris Benko plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Mislav Barisic 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.

Match19 Aug 2026

Cup progress for Zadar

A 1‑0 win over Imotski, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Market24 Aug 2026

HNK Rijeka come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Zadar did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Marin Babic could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.37

Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.37, 0 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Marin Simunovic

Successful dribbles: 27. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market24 Aug 2026

Hrvoje Pjaca hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Zadar can pretend not to have heard.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Zadar

Duje Petkovic 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.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words at Zadar training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Andrej Boric 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

Boris Benko in the eights

A performance of 8.07 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Match22 Aug 2026

Zadar hit back inside 4 minutes

Hrvatski Dragovoljac held the lead for 4 minutes, which is not long enough to enjoy it. Zadar answered before the celebration had properly finished, and the shape of the afternoon changed with it.

Nobody could get near Dejan Tadic

Successful dribbles: 38. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match15 Aug 2026

Zadar win it in stoppage time

The board had gone up, the arguing had started, and then the ball was in the net in the 91th minute. Sibenik will replay every second of the added time for a week.

Market17 Aug 2026

Zadar turn down Istra 1961 for Andrej Boric

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Duje Petkovic 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 Zadar this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match15 Aug 2026

Zadar find a way past Sibenik

Sibenik made Zadar work for it, but the scoreboard read 4‑2 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Market17 Aug 2026

Zadar sell Domagoj Livaja for $61.0K

Domagoj Livaja has left for Lucko in a $61.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words at Zadar training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Babacar Diallo 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 ratings17 Aug 2026

Ninety minutes of Marin Simunovic at his very best

Marked 8.34. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Zadar.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Boris Benko in the eights

A performance of 8.09 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

In brief

  • Squad Mateo Barisic gets it from the manager
  • Squad 5 new faces, and Zadar are still learning each other
  • Market Zadar bring in an old head

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Both of them Marin Simunovic's — 8.93

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.93, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market3 Aug 2026

Andrej Modric hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Zadar can pretend not to have heard.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Zadar

Duje Petkovic 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.

Match1 Aug 2026

Marin Simunovic sends Zadar past Lucko

It finished 3‑1, and it was Marin Simunovic’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Zadar.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Nikola Petkov signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Nikola Petkov and Zadar agree another 2 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words at Zadar training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Andrej Boric 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.

Market3 Aug 2026

Hrvatski Dragovoljac join the queue for Mislav Simunovic

Add another name to the list: Hrvatski Dragovoljac have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Mislav Simunovic. The answer from Zadar has not changed — yet.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

A masterclass from Boris Benko

Marked 8.12 — 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.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

One of those days for Duje Petkovic

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.07, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

In brief
