22-year-old Armenian national team defender Styopa Mkrtchyan was in Osijek’s starting lineup and played the full 90 minutes in the final round of the Croatian league against Istra 1961. The match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Osijek finished the season in 7th place in the league standings. This match was Mkrtchyan’s 20th appearance of the season: 17 in the league, 1 in the Croatian Cup, and 2 in the UEFA Conference League.
Mkrtchyan suffered an injury at the beginning of the season and was rarely on the pitch for a long period. However, he returned to full fitness in the final stretch and played all 90 minutes in the last 8 league games.
His contract with Osijek runs until the summer of 2027.
