It was only a matter of time before this player would explode, but Hajduk's hidden potential is much greater

Hajduk Split secured a dominant 5-0 victory over NK Gorica, extending their lead over rival Dinamo Zagreb to four points in the Croatian football league. Spanish striker Carlos Martin emerged as the match hero with two goals and an assist, validating his status as a loan signing from Atletico Madrid. The performance highlighted the club's depth through young talents, including 17-year-old Adam Huram, who scored his first league goal and provided a key assist. Huram, a former Shakhtar Donetsk academy player who fled Ukraine during the war, has been recognized by major European clubs such as Arsenal and Chelsea. Manager Gonzalo Garcia noted the team's expanded squad options while maintaining a grounded approach despite the recent success against top opponents like Dinamo and Ajax.

"Hajdukovac has faced a lot of criticism, but..."

In the 12th round of the SuperSport HNL, Hajduk Split defeated Gorica 5:0 in a decisive victory. Carlos Martin, who joined the club on loan from Atletico Madrid, was named the standout player after scoring two goals and providing an assist. Former Hajduk defender Luka Vucko praised Martin's performance, specifically highlighting his third goal which resulted from an individual pressing action. Vucko noted that while Martin had faced criticism earlier in the season, playing in his natural forward position revealed significant quality and potential to contribute effectively to the team. The match marked Martin's most impressive game in the Hajduk jersey, earning him a perfect rating of 10 from Sofascore.

What a fantastic match! He deserved all the praise he received, as well as any criticism that came his way.

This sports column analyzes Carlos Martin's performance in a match between Hajduk Split and Gorica, arguing that he delivered his best game in recent months by scoring two goals and providing an assist. The author contends that previous criticism of Martin was unjustified because he had been deployed out of position, comparing his situation to former player Jan Mlakar who struggled when moved away from his natural role. The piece highlights that Martin functions effectively as a direct replacement for striker Michele Sega within manager Gonzalez Garcia's tactical system, noting their similar physical attributes and pressing styles. Consequently, the writer suggests this match marks a turning point for Martin, establishing him as a viable rotational option for the team's attack.

Why are the players of Hajduk wearing shirts with the word "Dante" on them?

Hajduk Split defeated Gorica 5-0 in their SuperSport HNL match, securing first place while Gorica remains last. Following the victory, several Hajduk players posed for photos wearing t-shirts inscribed with the name 'Dante'. These shirts were dedicated to Dante Stipica, a 35-year-old backup goalkeeper who has made only one appearance this season against lower-league side Vardarac. Although Stipica plays rarely due to his role as a reserve, he is described as a vital contributor to the team's positive atmosphere and locker room morale. His teammates expressed appreciation for his off-field influence by highlighting his nickname during the post-match celebration.

The Gorica coach, after the match at Poljud: "Against Hajduk, you can't afford to make those kinds of mistakes."

Goals were scored by Adam Huram, Abdoulie Sanyang Bamba, Carlos Martin (two goals), and Andrija Sutalo. Assistant coach Denis Mojstrovic addressed the media after the match, noting he was leading the team due to head coach Mario Carevic serving a suspension.

He emphasized the need for the squad to react collectively and prepare well for their next fixture.
