In the recently ended season, Hajduk has played 45 official games and collected 26 wins, 10 draws, and nine defeats.

The team scored a total of 92 goals (2.04 per game) and conceded 41 (0.91 per game). This season's efficiency of Hajduk is best explained by the fact that this number of goals has not been scored since the 1994/95 season, when Hajduk scored 107 goals in total, but in 52 matches.

As for the First League matches, Hajduk did not score so many goals (70) from the season 1993/94 when the number of goals scored was 84 (in 34 games). Hajduk ended the season with 69 points, which is the best result in the last five seasons of the MAXtv First League (from the season 2012/13).

At Poljuf, Hajduk had 15 wins in 21 official matches, three draws and three defeats with a 55:20 goal difference, while in the 24 away games, they collected 11 wins, seven draws and six defeats with a goal difference of 37:21.

Hajduk played most games, eight of them, during August, just like in the previous couple of seasons. A record number of wins was achieved during July and August when they won six consecutive matches in all competitions. The longest series without a lost match took place in a period from the end of August to the beginning of November, when Hajduk played 11 consecutive matches without losing.

A total of 14 players entered the goal scorers list and on three occasions the opponents scored own goals. The most efficient among them was the top goalscorer of MAXtv First League Marko Futacs, who scored 21 goals this season, followed by his teammates Ante Erceg with 13 goals scored, Franck Ohandza with 11 and Ahmed Said Said who scored nine goals.

Erceg is on the top of assists list (11 assists), along with Nikola Vlasic who has one assist less. Third place is reserved for Fran Tudor with seven assists.

In the recently ended season, 33 players played for Hajduk, and 19-years-old Nikola Vlasic played the biggest number of matches (37 official matches). He is followed by Toma Basic and Ahmed Said Said who have played one match less. Vlasic also played the most, as many as 3,015 minutes in 37 matches, followed by captain Zoran Nizic with 2,789 minutes of play.

Hajduk's youngest debutant this season is Ivan Prtajin, who played for the first team for the first time in the last game against Slaven Belupo, at which moment he was 21  years and 12 days old. The oldest debutant is Erceg, who debuted for Hajduk at the age of 26 years and 218 days.

At the end of the season, we especially have to thank our loyal fans who once again made Hajduk the most watched club in Croatia by far. More than 200 000 of them attended matches at Poljud (214,241) in 21 matches this season (two games played behind the closed doors), or 11,276 per match on average!
