The match of the 12. round of the HT first Croatian soccer league between HNK Hajduk and HNK Rijeka was played on 28.10.2018 at the Poljud stadium in Split.

NK SLAVEN BELUPO – GNK DINAMO 0:2
The match of the 12. round of the HT first Croatian soccer league between NK Slaven Belupo and GNK Dinamo was played on 20.10.2018., at the Ivan Kušek Apaš stadium in Koprivnica, in front of around 1.900 people, from which about 500 were members of Bad Blue Boys (GNK Dinamo).
In 78.minute the referee paused the match for 30 seconds, due to thick smoke caused by 8 flares activated by the Bad Blue Boys, two of which were thrown on the pitch. After the game, it was noted that Bad Blue Boys had damaged 5 chairs. There were no other incidents.
NOTE: After the recent fan related incident in Karlovac, last week, on the streets of Zagreb, the incidents were continued. According to the media, a group of 10 people, members of the Bad Blue Boys fan group (GNK Dinamo), masked and armed with sticks and bats, attacked one person in front of the National university library in Zagreb while yelling:”Tovari, down with tovari!” (which is an abusive term for people from Dalmacija). The media reported that this revenge of masked mad-men is because of the demolition of 2 vans full of Bad Blue Boys that had been returning from the match on the intersection of Trnina and Držić’s street in Zagreb.
The police administration of Zagreb reported that on Wednesday, at around 18:00 in front of National university library, a group of unknown people attacked a 21-year old person who ran into the lobby of the library, while the unknown attackers chased him down. A 29 year old that was in the lobby of the library tried to stop the attackers and had punched the 21-year old, leaving him with serious injury.
The rampage was continued in a bar in Paromlinska street, which was attacked just due to it’s name (Dalmatinka – a girl from Dalmatia), during which the 64-year old owner, Barica K., was seriously injured. According to the media and the police, the attackers had made a serious material damage in the bar, and the owner was sent to the operating table in KBC Rebro hospital with a concussion, broken ribs, broken teeth and flare burns.
