0‑3 against Segesta, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

The boos come down from three sides

A one-man rearguard from Tomislav Adolf Tomić
There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Tomislav Adolf Tomić 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 Dugopolje this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Graduation day at Dugopolje
6 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.
