“Dario Melnjak broke the deadlock nine minutes into the second half, opening the scoring after Hajduk had been building pressure through set pieces in the first half.”
Pivotal“Adam Guram, introduced as a substitute just minutes earlier, doubled Hajduk's lead to make it 2-0, arriving off the bench to immediately impose himself on the game.”
Pivotal“Abdoulie Sanyang, on the pitch for just five minutes after replacing Sutalo, rifled home to make it 3-0 and put any remaining doubt to rest.”
“Michele Sego rounded off a dominant evening for Hajduk Split, completing the 4-0 rout with a goal that capped a remarkable second-half showing.”
Hajduk Split turned on the style in the second half of this second leg, running out commanding 4-0 winners at home to complete a 9-2 aggregate demolition of Žalgiris. The first half was a quiet affair with little to separate the sides, but Dario Melnjak broke the deadlock nine minutes after the restart to set the tone. From that point, Hajduk were utterly relentless, with Vladan Beuk's side exploiting their 63 percent possession dominance and registering seven shots on target to Žalgiris's none. The bench contributions told the real story of the evening — Adam Guram, Abdoulie Sanyang, and Michele Sego all scored after being introduced as substitutes, capping a performance that underscored Hajduk's quality depth and attacking firepower. For Žalgiris, the tie will serve as a sobering lesson; they managed just three saves all evening and offered virtually nothing going forward, with zero shots on target across the 90 minutes. Hajduk, meanwhile, advance into the next round of the Europa Conference League in emphatic fashion, sending a clear message to potential opponents about their attacking intent this season.
