Marko Vrsaljko sold, and an era ends
$120.0K from Hrvatski Dragovoljac for Marko Vrsaljko. Money is money, but the dressing room has lost the man it looked to.

Andrej Juranovic settles it late for Zadar
The 86th minute, half the ground already edging towards the exits, and Andrej Juranovic decided nobody was going anywhere. Segesta had no time left to answer.

Andrej Juranovic scores twice — 7.87
Two goals and a mark of 7.87 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Ante Colak runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Tempers go at Zadar
Marin Vlasic 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.

Words at Zadar training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Domagoj Antolić 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.
