While we cheer for Dinamo, Rijeka, and Hajduk in the Croatian First League, Istra 1961 players are unpaid, and Cibalia fights hopelessly against HNS. 

In the 19th round match of the First Division, Hajduk pulled out a last minute win against Cibalia (2:1) in Vinkovci. Cibalia ended the meeting with three players down as Šimunac (76), Filipović (89) and Čuljak (90 + 5) were all given red cards. Index.hr reports the details on 10 December, 2016.

After a shock defeat to RNK Split during a Croatian Cup match last week, Hajduk trainer Marijan Pušnik and the club parted ways. Today, Hajduk has named their new trainer.
