Yet another domination of coach Joan Carrillo's squad that has four wins in the last five matches, confirming a very good form before the end of the season. Hajduk scored five goals in the yesterday's match while a young midfielder Toma Basic collected two assists in the match, the first one in the 67th minute, when he passed a ball to Ahmed Said Said and another one in the 85th minute, when he found Franck Ohandza, who set the final result of the City derby.
"I'd rather take two assists than score from the attempt that I had because the assists meant two goals for my team, and mine would be just one! It's a pitty I didn't score, it would have been a really attractive goal, but the most important is that we have taken three points. We were scoring easily but we also created a large number of chances. We are satisfied that we transferred our game from the training to the match" said Toma Basic after the match.
Hajduk will play the next round against Istra 1961 in Pula on Sunday, kick - off 15:00. In their last match at Poljud, Hajduk won 4:0.
"We have to show the same game on Sunday against Istra and take all three points. Our goal was to return to the third place. There shouldn't be any new oscillations, we have to keep the third place, where we are now. As soon as possible, we want to make another step forward".
Captain Zoran Nizic scored the second goal, at the end of the first half. It's his second goal this season and after the game, he said that the most important of all is that Hajduk now has three more points.
"After a very difficult match against Dinamo, we also had City derby, but we won and scored five goals. It was not our best game but these three important points have filled us with confidence before the end of the season. The match was attractive to watch but the tactics of both teams did not work well. However, we scored five goals and we are now turning to the next matches".
The third consecutive win and full confidence gained, ahead of the last six rounds of the MAXtv First League. First in Pula and then at Poljud, against Osijek.
"We are in a good rhythm, we are full of confidence lately and we want to continue like this. There are still six games till the end of the season, Osijek comes at Poljud, we depend only on ourselves and everything is on us. We can stay the third. The first to follow is the match against Istra and we go to Pula to take all three points" said the captain of Hajduk.
