Rijeka defeated Hajduk 2:0 in the Adriatic derby at Poljud.

"I am sad after this kind of result, we had to play better, we made too many mistakes. Rijeka used our mistakes, in such matches you get punished for that. We've seen it in our international matches as well. We all have to lift up our heads and move forward because of our supporters. Matches like this should not repeat,, we must stay together in victories and defeats. We can get out of this situation only by working hard" said goalkeeper Dante Stipica.

"We were not at the necessary level. Rijeka played well because we allowed it to them. There is no justification for our game. We all need to get together and show more in the next matches. We have to return to the games we showed at the beginning of the season. There is no need for great philosophy" said midfielder Josip Radosevic.

The next match will take place on Wednesday, when Hajduk is playing the Cup round of 32 match against Third Division clun NK Oriolik in Oriolik, kick - off 15:30.
