Match

Dugopolje refuse to drop out of the race

Position 2, 13 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Jeffrey Sarpong yet — 7.94

At 38 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.94 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Match

Dugopolje make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Dugopolje have 3 straight wins of it.

Match

Jeffrey Sarpong the difference as Dugopolje beat Hrvatski Dragovoljac

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

Squad

Mihael Rebernik 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.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Mate Antunović

Marked 8.03 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings

Mijo Caktaš runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Jean Galindo dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Squad

Jeffrey Sarpong is off the mark for Dugopolje

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Bruno Zdunić

Successful dribbles: 44. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

The cup run ends for Dugopolje

1‑1 against Rudes, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Market

Antonio Repić hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Dugopolje can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

A defender's goal wins it for Dugopolje — 7.45

1 for Roko Kurtović, marked 7.45, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Match

Ivan Delić sends Dugopolje past Segesta

It finished 1‑0, and it was Ivan Delić’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Dugopolje.

Player ratings

One of those days for Ivan Delić

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.04, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

Ante Utrobičić misses from twelve yards

It was his to settle and he did not settle it. A long walk back to the halfway line, and a considerably longer week.

Squad

The plan did not have a place for Zoran Nižić

Nobody at Dugopolje is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

Squad

Roko Kurtović is off the mark for Dugopolje

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Squad

Gabriel Melo 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Josip Balić

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

No hiding place for Roko Kurtović

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Roko Kurtović, and the manager let it.

Squad

5 new faces, and Dugopolje are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Player ratings

Bruno Zdunić was the difference for Dugopolje

Marked 7.17. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Squad

Mijo Caktaš dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.
