Slaven Belupo defeated Hajduk 0:1 at Poljud. Despite a large number of opportunities and constant pressure on Slaven's goal, Hajduk ended the match without scoring.

"Congratulations to Slaven for victory, we knew that it will be a match against a defensive opponent, who would wait for their chances from the counterattack. We tried to improve the quality of the game, but we were unable to dominate in the final third. The players who brought a lot of good and showed that they could handle the pressure were in the starting line-up. These others who came recently, the plan was to give them a chance as substitutes. Now I have the most important thing to analyze, I want to understand why we had some players below the right level. It is not pleasant to lose the match and the good atmosphere, we have been working so hard for that and surely this is not an easy situation because it raises some questions. I believe we can come out of this situation even stronger" coach Zeljko Kopic said at a press conference after the match.
