The mood at Hrvace has turned into something else
Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Marcelo Cop, 16, plays like he has been here for years — 7.72
A mark of 7.72 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 16-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Cibalia take the points off Hrvace
Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Daniel Olivares wants to go home
“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Hrvace know it.

Talks stall between Hrvace and Roko Mavra
“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.
