Here are the results for August 31st…
Croatia Sesvete [1 – 1] Cibalia Vinkovci
Dinamo Zagreb [2 – 1] Varteks Varaždin
HNK Šibenik [1 – 1] NK Zagreb
Inter Zaprešić [3 – 1] NK Zadar
NK Rijeka [2 – 0] Slaven Belupo
NK Osijek [1 – 2] Hajduk Split
It appears that Hajduk is back on track after the UEFA Cup Deportivo loss earlier in the week as they posted a nice away win in Osijek today. Kalinić scored the first goal of the game, however, this is now the second straight match that Hajduk has received a red card. I think disciplinary issues need to be brought up in the locker room.
Dinamo keeps on rolling with full points as they get an easy 2-1 win vs. Varteks. Newly acquired Chilean midfielder, Pedro Morales, scored the double for the ‘Modri’.
Slaven Belupo appeared to have a small UEFA Cup hangover as they lost away to Rijeka. But we must remember, Rijeka is an up-and-coming team that will test you and it’s very difficult to play at Kantrida.
