6 – 3
“Lovro Banovec gave Vukovar a shock early lead with a right-footed shot, silencing the home crowd and setting up what initially looked like a competitive upset bid.”
“Michele Sego scored his second goal of the first half to restore Hajduk's lead at 3-2, after Vukovar had twice pegged the hosts back — a goal that proved to be the decisive moment of the opening period.”
Pivotal“Lovro Banovec, who had opened the scoring for Vukovar in the second minute, turned villain by putting the ball into his own net — a moment that crushed any lingering hope of a Vukovar comeback and made it 4-2 to Hajduk.”
Pivotal“Adam Guram made it 5-2 just two minutes after the own goal, delivering the knockout blow in a devastating 64-second spell that put the result beyond any doubt.”
Pivotal“Iker Almena converted from the penalty spot to complete the 6-2 scoreline, capping a dominant second-half display and adding gloss to what had become a comfortable evening for Hajduk.”

Outstanding performance
Hajduk Split•AttackerHajduk Split turned a scrappy, end-to-end first half into a statement second-half performance to record a convincing 6-3 victory over bottom-half Vukovar at home. The opening 45 minutes were genuinely competitive — Vukovar took the lead through Lovro Banovec inside two minutes, and the sides traded goals back and forth before Hajduk went in 3-2 ahead at the break, with Michele Sego netting twice to prove decisive in that phase. The second half was a different match entirely. Banovec's own goal on 54 minutes, followed swiftly by Adam Guram's strike two minutes later, effectively ended the contest before Iker Almena converted from the spot to complete the rout. Hajduk's statistical dominance told the full story — 64% possession, eight shots on target to Vukovar's two, and six big chances created — with the hosts controlling the tempo from back to front. For Vukovar, sitting deep in the relegation zone, this defeat underlines the gulf between the sides; for Hajduk, third in the table, it was a timely confidence boost as the title race enters its final stretch.
