2 – 2
“Michele Sego opened the scoring for Hajduk Split, converting after sustained corner pressure — Abdoulie Sanyang providing the assist — to give the hosts a deserved early lead.”
Pivotal“Dalisson de Almeida struck within two minutes of the restart to restore Hajduk's lead, capitalising on a corner before Raków had time to settle into the second half.”
Pivotal“Lamine Diaby-Fadiga equalised deep into stoppage time to earn Raków a 2-2 draw, snatching an away goal that dramatically alters the second-leg dynamic despite playing over half an hour with ten men.”

Hajduk Split
Raków Częstochowa
Hajduk Split dominated the ball — 60 percent possession and 15 shots — yet Raków Częstochowa's superior efficiency on target told the truer story of a chaotic Thursday night in Split. Hajduk broke the deadlock through Michele Sego from a corner-assisted move in the 21st minute, only for Mahir Emreli to equalise six minutes later as Raków showed their cutting edge with just two shots on target in that opening spell. The hosts retook the lead almost immediately after half-time through Dalisson de Almeida, but the tie turned on Adrion Pajaziti's red card for violent conduct in the 55th minute, which forced Raków into a defensive reshuffle and prompted a flurry of substitutions from both benches. Despite playing over half an hour a man down, it was Raków who had the final word — Lamine Diaby-Fadiga converting in stoppage time to level at 2-2 and hand the Polish side a precious away goal that fundamentally shifts the complexion of the second leg.
