Before the kick-off, the players of both teams and the referees have displayed a banner "Croatian football with Ukraine", as Croatian football, with all its heart, stands by this war-torn country and its people.
This example will be followed by all other top-tier teams in the 26th round of the Croatian First Division. Croatian Football Federation supports peace and freedom, especially since we are fully aware of the importance of these values. Our thoughts are with the people of Ukraine.
