  • Hajduk Split defeated Žilina 2-0 in their first European League qualifying match.
  • New Brazilian forward Dalisson scored the second goal in his debut for the club.
  • Fans noticed a spelling error on Dalisson's jersey, which read "Dallison" instead of his correct name.

Hajduk Split kicked off their new season with a solid 2-0 victory over Slovakia's Žilina in the first leg of the Europa League qualifiers at their home stadium, Poljud.

Goals from Roko Brajković in the 23rd minute and new Brazilian signing Dalisson in the 49th minute secured the win. Dalisson, who joined Hajduk just over a week ago from Spanish second-division club Córdoba, made an immediate impact. He struck a powerful shot from about 20 meters out, hitting the post and finding the net for his first goal in his debut match.

However, a detail on Dalisson's jersey quickly caught the attention of Hajduk fans after the game. Many noticed that his name was spelled "Dallison" instead of the correct "Dalisson." The club had mistakenly added an extra 'L' to their new star player's name. Despite the jersey mishap, Dalisson's performance ensured he would be remembered by the fans and club officials, making such errors unlikely to happen again.
