Adriatic Derby
Adriatic derby ( hr, Jadranski derbi) is the name given to matches between two largest Croatian football clubs coming from the Adriatic coast, Hajduk Split and Rijeka. The teams are supported by their fanbases called Split's Torcida and Rijeka's Armada. Games of note are the 1986–87 Yugoslav Cup final, when Hajduk won the cup, and the 2004–05 Croatian Football Cup final when Rijeka won the trophy. In the penultimate round of the 1998–99 Croatian First Football League season at Stadion Poljud, Rijeka won 3–1 and the entire stadium began to applaud the Rijeka footballers, including the Hajduk fans. This was unusual, especially for such big rivals. Another notable derby took place on 9 September 1962 in Rijeka. This game is noteworthy, or rather infamous, as numerous rocks collapsed off the cliff at Stadion Kantrida, in process injuring 96 supporters.Novi_List/ref> Due_to_various_formats_that_were_used_in_the_Croatian_championship_and_the_cup_competition_format_(wh ...
