LNZ Cherkasy 0–1 Hajduk Split | International Club Friendly
June 28, 2026 | Cherkasy Arena

Hajduk Split claimed a narrow 1–0 win over Ukrainian Premier League side LNZ Cherkasy in a pre‑season friendly played in central Ukraine. The Croatian giants used the fixture to fine‑tune their squad ahead of the upcoming season, while LNZ Cherkasy offered a competitive challenge in front of their home fans.

The Decisive Goal

The only goal came in the 41st minute when Hajduk’s young winger Luka Vuković drove into the box and unleashed a low shot that deflected past the Cherkasy goalkeeper. It was a moment of individual quality in an otherwise evenly‑matched contest.

Match Dynamics

LNZ Cherkasy enjoyed spells of possession, especially early in the second half, but struggled to create clear‑cut chances. Hajduk’s defensive organisation, led by experienced centre‑back Ferdo Bašić, repelled the home side’s advances. The match was played at a moderate intensity, typical of friendlies, with both coaches rotating freely.

Pre‑Season Importance

For Hajduk Split, this friendly formed part of a short tour of Eastern Europe, designed to expose the squad to different playing styles before their domestic league begins. LNZ Cherkasy, meanwhile, are preparing for a new Ukrainian Premier League campaign and will take positives from competing solidly against a historically strong opponent.
