Rudar’s footballers ended a run of five consecutive defeats by drawing 0-0 against Kraljevica at the Gradski stadium in Labin. As a result, they did not leave the bottom of the league table to Rovinj, who suffered a narrow defeat on Krk.
Rovinj lost 0-1 at the Josip Uravić-Pepi stadium, with the only goal scored by Begonja in the 45th minute. Although Rovinj has the same number of points as Rudar, their goal difference is significantly better. The match was officiated by referee Marko Tićak from Rijeka, assisted by Bahun from Viškovo and Stanišić from Senj. Yellow cards were shown to Delibegović and Begonja from Krk, and De Armas and Bešić from Rovinj.
In the Labin match between Rudar and Kraljevica, the referee was Marin Rožman from Viškovo, assisted by Marušić from Matulji and Olajoš from Rijeka. Yellow cards were issued to Macan and Živolić from Rudar, and Depeder, Kocijan, Dunatov and Šuprah from Kraljevica. Jovanović received a red card in the 69th minute for a foul in a promising goal-scoring opportunity.
Buje lost 0-1 to Jadran at the Gradski stadium, with the goal scored by Buljan in the 32nd minute. Buje thus failed to score for the fourth consecutive match, and on this occasion also conceded and lost. Elvis Kastrati was not present in Buje. Jadran jumped to third place with the victory, and the change of manager appeared to act as a shock therapy. The match was officiated by Sandro Miličković, assisted by Sambol and Mravić, all from Rijeka. Yellow cards were shown to Fakin and V. Kargbo from Buje, and Kodrnja, Jakovčić and P. Bernobić from Jadran.
Pazinka lost 0-1 to Crikvenica at the Gradski stadium, with the only goal scored by D. Mendrila in the 36th minute. Pazinka thus went more than 270 minutes without scoring and is not showing last season’s form. After eight years, they have brought back Lorena Maružina to their ranks. The match was officiated by Goran Krneta from Umag, assisted by Šipić from Viškovo and Peršurić from Rijeka. Yellow cards were shown to Mikulica from Crikvenica and Krištofić from Pazinka.
Banjole drew 1-1 with Nehaj at Prematinka. Svast put Nehaj ahead in the 35th minute, and Raković equalised in the 69th minute.
