Hajduk Split faced Fortuna Hjørring in the first qualifying round semi-finals of the UEFA Women's Champions League on 26 August 2026. The Norwegian side took the match by the throat and saw it through, winning 2:0. By then, the result was never really in doubt.
Fortuna struck first when J. Valvik found the net in the 27th minute, and here's the thing — they didn't let the visitors breathe. Two minutes later, L. Kukavica picked up a yellow card, and the home side looked rattled. To be fair, they had no answer for the pressure.
The second goal came in the 66th minute, Valvik again, and the game was effectively over. Hajduk made six substitutions in quick succession — Prskalo, Bagaric, Kalas, Dyrehauge, Zivkovic, and Valvik — but that's a team trying to find something rather than something finding them.
Fortuna brought on Carstens and Olar-Spanu late on, and honestly, those changes were for show. The match had been decided long before the final whistle. Hajduk's recent form — a win against Murá and a heavy defeat to Austria Wien — suggested they'd be competitive, but this was a different level entirely.
The result means Fortuna Hjørring advance to the final of the first qualifying round, while Hajduk Split's campaign is over. They'll have to wait another season to see if they can break through this stage.
