Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Rokas Pukštas scored as HNK Hajduk Split were held to a 2-2 draw by NK Istra 1961 in the 1. HNL, a result that leaves the home side without a win in this fixture. The midfielder’s opener was cancelled out by a late Istra equaliser, with the final score flattering the visitors on a night of sustained dominance from the hosts.

Hajduk struck first in the 15th minute when Pukštas finished from Šimun Hrgović’s assist, but Emil Frederiksen levelled against the run of play in the 42nd minute. Marko Livaja restored the lead from open play in the 84th minute, only for Dukan Ahmeti to snatch a point for Istra in the 90th minute, with Hamza Jaganjac providing the assist. The drama did not end there, as Antonio Sutalo saw yellow in stoppage time.

The statistics tell a clear story of Hajduk’s control, with 61% possession and 17 shots to Istra’s seven, while their expected goals of 1.66 dwarfed the visitors’ 0.68. Hajduk were the better side in the second half, yet outplayed but won on efficiency as Istra took their chances. Pukštas was the standout with a 7.9 rating and his goal from midfield. CheckLive’s model clearly favoured Hajduk, but the draw confirmed it wrong, and the live signal backing the hosts lost.
