Hajduk Secures Historic Away Win in Europe After Six Years

Hajduk achieved a resounding 5-2 victory over Žalgiris in Vilnius, marking a significant milestone in their European campaign. This win is their first European away victory in 2149 days, with the previous one occurring on September 17, 2020, against Renova. The team's performance in Lithuania was strong, with goals from Michele Šego (twice), Adrion Pajaziti, Dalisson, and Rokas Pukštas contributing to the impressive scoreline.

The victory not only gives Hajduk a substantial advantage heading into the second leg at home but also highlights a historic scoring achievement. It was the first time Hajduk scored five goals in an away match in Europe since August 2002, when they defeated Vikingur 8-0. That memorable match saw goals from Tomislav Erceg (three), Srđan Andrić (two), Mario Carević (two), and a penalty from Stipe Pletikosa, leading to an 11-0 aggregate win.

This impressive performance in Vilnius sets a positive tone for Hajduk as they look to advance in the competition. The team's ability to secure a commanding lead away from home demonstrates their potential and fighting spirit on the European stage. Fans will be eager to see if they can replicate this success in the upcoming home fixture.
