This HNL clash between HNK Sibenik and HNK Hajduk Split was marked by a tight competition which saw Split emerge victorious with a 3-2 scoreline.

In terms of goals, HNK Hajduk Split opened the scoring at the 44th minute of the first half and held the lead with two more goals in the second half at the 52nd and 58th minutes. HNK Sibenik started their comeback in the second half with their first goal scored at the 63rd minute and their second goal at the 89th minute. However, Split's advantage was too great for Sibenik to completely erase, resulting in their victory.

Even though the home team managed to get more corner kicks as compared to the away team, having six compared to Split's four, it seemed to have minimal effect on Sibenik's scoring potential. This may signal Split's effectiveness in defending set-pieces during the match.

Significantly, Sibenik was able to maintain discipline with only one yellow card in comparison to two yellow cards for Split. However, in terms of in-play fouls, both teams drew level with each team committing two fouls each, suggesting a fair level of intensity throughout the match.

Interestingly, there were only a limited number of offsides calls during this matchup, with Split flagged just once and Sibenik not getting into an offside position at all. This would point to well-coordinated attacks from both teams, managing to time their runs effectively to avoid offside traps from the opposing defenders.

Although neither team had a player sent off, discipline could have still played a pivotal role in the match, specifically for Split. With more yellow cards, meaning a lack of discipline, their players were forced to be more cautious, something which might have restricted how actively they could participate in some parts of the game.

While the margin of victory was slim, it appeared Hajduk Split's striking ability in capitalising on goal-scoring opportunities gave them the edge in this closely contested match against HNK Sibenik.
