Up for the corner, and Noel Bodetić delivers — 7.97
Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Noel Bodetić scored, was marked 7.97, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.
Match26 Sep 2026
At last: Uskok win one
7 matches without a win, and then this, against Uljanik Pula. Relief is a strange noise in a football ground and it was the only noise at the end.

Mate Miličević 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 Uskok this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match26 Sep 2026
Uskok get the job done against Uljanik Pula
A 1‑0 win over Uljanik Pula, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
Squad28 Sep 2026
Uskok lose Daniel Grbic
35 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Denis Strize 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.

Jakov Dedić was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 16. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Too much change too quickly at Uskok
18 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.
The dugout28 Sep 2026
The view from the dugout
“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Marco Kasalo, on a 1‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.
In brief
- The dugout When it matters, Jakov Miholić plays
- Squad Noel Bodetić named player of the week
- The dugout No place in the plan for Patrick Pejić
