Gorica
Outstanding performance
Hajduk Split•AttackerHajduk Split secured a narrow but deserved victory over Gorica thanks to Marko Livaja's early strike and a dominant overall performance. The hosts controlled proceedings from the outset, registering 60% possession and 15 shots to Gorica's five, with their clinical finishing proving the difference as they converted one of six shots on target. Livaja's fourth-minute opener set the tone for a match that saw Hajduk create 70 dangerous attacks compared to Gorica's 33, though they were wasteful in front of goal, missing two big chances that could have made the scoreline more comfortable. The result strengthens Hajduk's position in the 1. HNL as they continue their solid form, while Gorica will rue their inability to create clear-cut opportunities despite a spirited defensive effort that limited the damage to a single goal.
How entertaining was this match?
