2 – 3
“Ron Raci headed home from a corner inside the opening minute to stun the Raków crowd and give Hajduk Split an immediate away goal.”
Pivotal“Lamine Diaby stepped up to convert a penalty and pull Raków level at 1-1, providing a platform for the hosts to push for a lead after a chaotic spell that included two bookings.”
Pivotal“Just five minutes after Raków equalised, Michele Sego restored Hajduk's lead with a goal assisted by Marin Soticek, punishing the hosts almost immediately and swinging momentum back toward the visitors.”
Pivotal“Mahir Emreli pulled Raków level at 2-2 in the 88th minute after a corner, forcing extra time and briefly sending the home support wild — though Emreli was booked immediately after celebrating.”
Pivotal“Rokas Pukstas struck in the 94th minute of extra time, assisted by Dario Maresic, to make it 2-3 and effectively end Raków's hopes — a gut-punch goal that completed a remarkable Hajduk turnaround and sealed a 5-4 aggregate victory.”

Outstanding performance
Hajduk Split•DefenderHajduk Split showed exactly why composure under pressure separates teams in European knockout football. Despite Raków Częstochowa controlling 68 percent of possession, registering 20 shots and creating six big chances — four of which were wasted — the Croatian side scored with a clinical economy that proved decisive over 120 minutes. Ron Raci set the tone within seconds, heading home from a corner before the match had barely started, and although Raków levelled twice — through Lamine Diaby's penalty and Mahir Emreli's 88th-minute equaliser — Hajduk always had a response. Rokas Pukstas's header in the 94th minute, assisted by Dario Maresic, knocked the stuffing out of the hosts and sent Hajduk through 5-4 on aggregate. For Raków, the statistics tell a damning story: six big chances created, four squandered, and a home tie they dominated territorially but ultimately lost through a failure to be clinical when it mattered most.
