Player ratings

Niko Farkaš, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 8.56

A mark of 8.56 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Match

Kaio Magno among the goals in a wild afternoon

6 goals in one match, Kaio Magno on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Imotski and Sesvete.

Squad

Imotski count the cost of losing Ivan Todorić

16 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

Lenos Sofroniou 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Ivan Todorić

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match

Kaio Magno rescues a point for Imotski

It needed Kaio Magno to find the net to bring anything home at all: 3‑3 against Sesvete, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Imotski

10 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.

Player ratings

A day to forget for Petar Jović

Marked 5.63, and generously at that. Nothing came off, and by the end the crowd had stopped expecting it to.

Player ratings

Off the bench and decisive: Isaac Aketxe

The substitution nobody applauded turned out to be the whole story. Imotski were going nowhere until he came on.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Market

Max Grbavac puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Imotski, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Marin Jonjić 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 Imotski this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Lenos Sofroniou 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Marin Jonjić

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

Match

Cibalia take the points off Imotski

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings

Niko Farkaš runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Imotski pick somebody else ahead of Pavao Vugdelija

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Player ratings

A day to forget for Šime Žužul

Marked 5.10, and generously at that. Nothing came off, and by the end the crowd had stopped expecting it to.

Player ratings

An afternoon Josip Kilić will want back

Marked 5.72. Nothing he attempted worked and by the hour mark he had stopped attempting much, which is the part a manager notices rather than the mistakes.

In brief
