Hajduk Split secured a 2-1 comeback victory over FC Dinamo City in the first leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League qualifier on August 8, 2025. The Croatian giants recovered from an early deficit to take a slender advantage into the return match. FC Dinamo City shocked the home crowd by taking a surprise lead in the 20th minute with a well-taken goal on the break. Hajduk Split responded with intensity and equalized ten minutes later through a penalty. The winner came in the 65th minute, with Hajduk's star forward finishing a flowing move to complete the turnaround. The key moment was a disallowed goal for Dinamo City for offside when the score was 1-1, a decision that proved pivotal. Despite the win, conceding an away goal means Hajduk's 2-1 lead is a precarious one ahead of the second leg. The Hajduk manager acknowledged the result was not ideal, while the Dinamo City coach praised his team's brave performance and highlighted the importance of their away goal.
