HNK Rijeka defeats Hajduk Split 3-0 in Adriatic Derby

In the recent Adriatic Derby, HNK Rijeka secured a 3-0 victory over Hajduk Split. Daniel Adu-Adjei played a decisive role in the match, contributing one goal and two assists. Despite having a modest season scoring total, Adu-Adjei has demonstrated a high level of performance in high-stakes matches, utilizing his ability to read the game and his defensive work rate to impact results.

Hajduk Split faces significant setbacks following the defeat, most notably the injury to key defensive midfielder Adrion Pajaziti. During the derby, Pajaziti suffered a hamstring tear, which was confirmed during his subsequent call-up to the Albanian national team.

Pajaziti is expected to be sidelined for approximately three weeks. This injury will cause him to miss the upcoming match against Dinamo Zagreb on October 10 and leaves his availability for Hajduk's Conference League fixture against Ajax in doubt.
