Hajduk Split Beats Pafos as Coach Gonzalo García Earns Praise

Hajduk Split delivered a dominant performance against Cypriot champions Pafos at Poljud, winning convincingly. Former player and scout Janko Janković highlighted the team's energy and tactical discipline, noting that the younger squad out‑paced the experienced Pafos side. Coach Gonzalo García was praised for his football philosophy and willingness to deviate from conventional tactics, with Janković saying García “deserves big congratulations” and that his approach “is interesting to watch.” The match showcased heightened pressure, speed and aggression from Hajduk, which Janković attributed to the presence of eight players born in 2000 or later, compared with only two for Pafos.
