Toma Basic scored the first goal at the exciting derby at Gradski vrt stadium, which ended up in a 3:3 draw. In the match that was full of comebacks, Bašsic scored already in the second minute, on the assist of Adam Gyurcso from some ten meters, with his right foot.

„I can't remember when there were so many goals scored in Osijek, this was a great match where fans could enjoy, and we can regret because we were leading until that unfortunate penalty kick for Osijek. That's football, we earned one point, we have to move on in order to prepare for the match with Rijeka. I hope that a large number of fans will support us, and we will do our best to win at Poljud" Basic said after the game.

Karlo Letica conceded three goals in this game, but several times Grezda and Boban came one on one in front of him and in each of these dangerous situations, Hajduk's goalkeeper came out as a winner.

„The match was truly exciting, despite the bad condition of the field, the spectators could enjoy watching numerous chances and goals. We regret that we didn't win because we were leading almost till the end of the match. We entered the match the right way, we scored at the very beginning, Osijek later came back and scored for a lead, we lacked some luck, we practically gave them a chance to come back, but we continued fighting, we scored two goals and after that a penalty was awarded to them that I don't want to comment because I didn't see the situation well".

Hajduk's goalkeeper was at the ball when Hajradinovic scored from the penalty, he almost saved his attempt. We have already mentioned that he collected several other important saves.

"We played attacking football and left a lot of space back, Osijek had several chances, which they failed to realize. It was difficult to save a penalty kick in that mud around the goal, I had the ball on my hand, but unfortunately it was not enough to prevent their equalizer“.
