In just three days we have witnessed two incredible matches. On Saturday, Hajduk beat Istra 1961 3:2 in the dramatic finish, and yesterday in an extremely demanding match, they beat Lokomotiva in Zagreb and qualified for the Cup final. Coach Zeljko Kopic's team showed the character, but also the enormous level of energy and fighting spirit. They created a huge number of chances, practically had the initiative during all 120 minutes of the match and well deserved placement in the final match that will take place on May 23 in Vinkovci.

In the Cup semifinal match, Josip Juranovic was unstoppable, he was everywhere on the field. He ran continuously along the pitch, closed his side in defensive tasks, passed some great assists in attack, and he was applauded countless times because of his fighting and good play, which spectators at the stadium in Kranjceviceva recognized and supported him.

"We showed that we were a better team, we had big possession of the ball and more shots on goal during all 120 minutes. We were not nervous during the penalty shoot-out, we knew we have good scorers and were confident of winning. We will play game per game, it's the best recipe to go forward" said our right back.

Eight championship victories (with one draw and a defeat) and the placement to the Cup final were achieved under the leadership of coach Zeljko Kopic. The next match will take place on Sunday against Osijek (HT First Division, 26th round). In the last match in Osijek, Kopic's players celebrated 3:1, which placed Hajduk in the Cup semifinals.
