Nikola Kalinić struck first for Hajduk Split in the 63rd minute on a feed from Dino Mikanović, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else At the end of 90 a dissapointed Dinamo Zagreb couldn’t manage to score, and Hajduk Split took the shutout win.
Marko Livaja has been on a hot streak lately. In the last five games, hes scored five goals for Hajduk Split. Arijan Ademi and Nikola Soldo are the top scorers for Dinamo Zagreb in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
