Outstanding performance
Hajduk Split•MidfielderHajduk Split needed just four minutes to seize control, with Michele Sego finishing off a Dalisson de Almeida assist, and they never looked back. A converted penalty from Sego before the break and an immediate second-half strike from Marin Soticek effectively ended the contest by the 48th minute, with Khalil Fayad's late goal simply rubber-stamping the margin. The visitors dominated every metric that mattered - 66% possession, 18 shots to Rudeš's 3, and 4 big chances created to none - showcasing the gulf in quality between the sides. For Rudeš, this result drags them further into a difficult stretch, while Hajduk's ruthless efficiency in front of goal will only strengthen their credentials in the title race conversation.
