Haris Vučkić is the bright exception of the club that Matjaž Kek led to the championship title, but is now sinking deeper and deeper into the abyss
The Slovenian forwards on temporary assignment abroad have been in high spirits in recent days. Andraž Šporar scored a goal in 92. Andres Vombergar scored twice for San Lorenzo, Nik Prelec added an assist to his two goals in Austria, Robert Beric scored for the first time in 13 games, David Brekalo, Jure Balkovec and Jasmin Kurtić were among the scorers.
Haris Vučkić, one of Rijeka’s few bright spots this season, has joined the motley crew of the above-mentioned club. The club, which was even the best in Croatia during Matjaz Keko’ s reign, is going through a crisis unlike many can remember. After 14 games played, the Rivermen are second to last in the standings 1. HNL! The only team with fewer points was the non-competitive HNK Gorica, which won only once in 13 attempts.
Three wins and eight defeats
Rijeka is currently on a three-game winning streak, having lost eight times. Last weekend, they also had to concede to Slaven Koprivnica, who won 2:1 in front of their home crowd. The match was decided in 80. minute, when veteran Ivan Krstanović scored, and Haris Vučkić scored from 49. so the minutes were of little value.
“To lose a game like this one, you really have to try hard. Unfortunately, we succeeded. We made two amateur mistakes and paid a heavy tax for them.”

But as I said, Vučkić is one of the few bright exceptions in the Rijeka team at the moment. This is evidenced by the fact that he almost single-handedly got Rijeka four of the 12 points. Vučkić scored the only goal for the Rečans when his club drew 1-1 with Pula in August. When 16. Lokomotiva fell 3:0 in October, he scored the second goal of the match, after which everything was much easier.
Only two have scored more than once
Vučkić has nine games in 1. HNL has three goals and one assist. He also scored once in European qualification. With four goals, he is the top scorer of the team led by Italian Serse Cosmi, and along with Matija Frigan, he is the only one who has managed to score more than once!
