“Dalisson de Almeida scores to make it 1-0, assisted by Abdoulie Sanyang, capitalizing on Hajduk's early pressure after a flurry of first-half chances.”
Pivotal“A chaotic end to the first half saw two yellow cards handed out in the space of a minute, including one to goalscorer Dalisson de Almeida, as tempers flared before the break.”
Hajduk Split
Slaven Koprivnica
Hajduk Split controlled proceedings from the opening whistle, racking up 68% possession and doubling Slaven Koprivnica's output in dangerous attacks, and their patience paid off in the 22nd minute when Dalisson de Almeida converted a chance created by Abdoulie Sanyang. That single goal proved enough, with Hajduk's dominance in passing (610 to 282) and territory never translating into a second breakthrough despite two big chances created. The game turned distinctly in Hajduk's favor at the hour mark when Filip Mažar picked up a second yellow card in the 79th minute, leaving Slaven to play out the remainder a man light. For a mid-table Slaven side facing a top-three Hajduk, the result keeps Hajduk's title ambitions alive while Slaven will rue their inability to test Hajduk's goalkeeper, managing just two shots on target despite four corners and four offside calls suggesting they were pushing men forward late on.
