With a 3-0 win over Istra 1961 in MAXtv First League, Hajduk reached its sixth win this season, and with 23 points arrived only one point behind league's leader Dinamo (Z).

Hajduk's goalkeeper Lovre Kalinić has broken a personal record with seven consecutive games without receiving a goal. Kalinić kept his goal clean for 631 minutes, and passed Danijel Subašić who saved goal untouched for 548 minutes in season 2009-10.

Next challenge for Kalinić is to break a record of Hajduk's goalies in the Croatian championship. So far, Zoran Slavica holds it with 711 minutes without a goal in season 1992. However, Slavica didn't set his record in consecutive games, since he was exchanging on a goal with Vatroslav Mihačić. Kalinić missed only one game this season.

Not only Lovre Kalinić is on the verge of new record, but also Hajduk as a team, with seven games without a goal. This way Damir Burić' team equalized some old records, since this is the third time Hajduk reached seven games with untouched net. It happened for the first time in the season 1973-74, with Tomislav Ivić as a coach. Rizah Mešković was a goalkeeper in all seven games.

In the season 1992 , team lead by Stanko Poklepović saved its goal in seven games, with Zoran Slavica (six and a half games) and Vatroslav Mihačić (one half) as goalkeepers.

If we count game in the Croatian Cup against Sloga (7-0 win), Hajduk didn't get a goal for the last eight games in national competition. Last goal Kalinić received came at the end of the game against Lokomotiva on August 10.
