A fracture rules Matija Jesenović out for 64 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Dugopolje will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Dugopolje say no — this time
The offer from NK Varazdin for Bruno Zdunić was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Damián Arruabarrena 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.

Bruno Zdunić falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Home is on Jean Galindo's mind
“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Dugopolje are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Dugopolje supporters have found a favourite in Jean Galindo
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Jean Galindo has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Ninety minutes of Bruno Zdunić at his very best
Marked 8.57. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Dugopolje.

Dugopolje get the job done against Lucko
A 1‑0 win over Lucko, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Dugopolje counting the cost
The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at Dugopolje now.
In brief
- Player ratings Nobody could get near Josip Balić
- Market Diogo Medeiros placed on the list
- Market Antonio Repić leaves for nothing
