Dayak starts to become important for Hajduk Split

Beating

Hajduk Split has started the championship in Croatia with five consecutive victories. They lead the table with 15 points, while the fervent fans from Split hope that their team will win the title after a long time.

Hajduk scored its last victory against Varazhdin. On Saturday night in Varazhdin, the famous "Torcida" team won 2:1.

The winning goal was scored by Kosovar Leon Dajaku in the 86th minute. He received a beautiful ball in the area and shot correctly for 2:1. Dajak entered the game in the 65th minute instead of Emir Sahit, the other player from Kosovo.

Dayak is still only a reserve at Hajduku. In all five matches so far, he has been activated as a substitute. But it has started to become important. The winning goal against Varazhdin proves this. He also scored in the 3:0 victory over Slaven Belupo.

"Mikanović made sure that it was easy for me to score a goal. He gave me a great ball. I am happy that I was able to help the team when I came in. It is also important for me that I scored another goal and that we won. It was an important victory, as matches like this will decide the championship. It was difficult, a strong opponent. "Varazhdini was good, but we knew that we have to stay calm until the 90th or 95th minute and that our chance will come," Dajaku said.

Hajduku plays the next match against Istra.

"We have to continue with our game. The championship has only just started. We have to win every match", added the 22-year-old.

He moved to Hajduk with the aim of getting his career back on track. He was once considered a great talent of Bayern, but failed to break through to the senior level at the Bavarian giant. Dayaku has had unsuccessful periods at Union Berlin, Sunderland and St. Gallen. Now he is playing in Croatia, with the aim of returning to the European countries with the most developed football. Dayaku has played up to the U19 age group of Germany. He had rejected the invitation to join Kosovo U21.
