The Hrvatski Dragovoljac Courier
Player ratings31 Aug 2026
Antonio Jakoliš scores twice — 8.31
Two goals and a mark of 8.31 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.
Market31 Aug 2026
David Večerić asks to leave Hrvatski Dragovoljac
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Matías Contrera, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 8.60
A mark of 8.60 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Hrvatski Dragovoljac leaking at the back
6 matches, two or more conceded in every one of them. Sides that create as much as this can live with it for a while. Nobody lives with it forever.

Matías Contrera 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 Hrvatski Dragovoljac this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match29 Aug 2026
Nobody could stop scoring
6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Hrvatski Dragovoljac and Sesvete in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

The manager makes an example of Marko Batur
“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.
Match29 Aug 2026
Hrvatski Dragovoljac and Sesvete take a point apiece
It finished 3‑3, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.
Market31 Aug 2026
Hrvatski Dragovoljac buy the years ahead of Damir Pjaca
He is 17, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.
In brief
- Squad Giovanni Jerolimov dropped after a run of poor form
- Squad Antonio Jakoliš finally opens his account
- Market Matías Contrera linked with a move away
