hajduk dominant the visitors, inspired by the creative skills of florin cernat, were much the better side in the early stages and carved out a number of opportunities. nikola kalinic went close on 12 minutes and three minutes later sampdoria goalkeeper antonio mirante, in for the injured luca castellazzi, was forced to make a superb save to keep out siniša linić's powerful long-range drive. just after the quarter-hour mirante could only watch as a header from mladen pelaić flew centimetres wide of his far post.
