Player ratings

Vintage Dragan Juranović — 7.80

At 33 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.80, and nobody on the pitch better.

The dugout

Marko Ivan Gašparac says Sesvete went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Match

The run at home goes on for Sesvete

11 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Alan Rivero

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Sesvete have done the hard part with Almirante Brown, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Boardroom

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Sesvete

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Transfer targets

Slaven Belupo tell Sesvete: Antonio Jakir is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

A row about effort at Sesvete

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Petar Antolković was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Antonio Kuš

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match

Antonio Kuš the difference as Sesvete beat Opatija

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Antonio Kuš. 2‑0 against Opatija, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

In brief
