As for those two who actually left.
🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 That's 4 Es for those four guys who were in Cleveland.
And here's 1 E for the guy who was out in Zadars alone.🙏
Looking at the photos, I already had a feeling they turned those two cages in Cleveland into one big one, then just stretched it out using half of the other one.

Here’s another report from the armada perspective
Cleveland is out of the cup, and with it, our last real shot at saving the season. Honestly, those of us who have been following Cleveland for years should be used to this by now. This time, though, a first-division side basically just walked in and took what was being offered—or rather, they snatched it away. Even though the game time was ridiculous—a weekday at 4 PM?—plenty of people still showed up, even if most were late because of work. The banners were set up nicely without any major issues, and the atmosphere really started building as the stands filled up. But just as the crowd settled in, the officiating from that Indianapolis ref—basically the executioner of Cleveland—took over. After Štrok was handed a yellow card for something only the ref saw, a questionable foul was called, allowing Boeing to score. Šafarić was the one who scored, and as he went to celebrate and taunt the lower stands, he ended up getting hit by a well-aimed shot from a Cleveland supporter. Then, instead of calling a foul on čagalj, the guy from Indianapolis handed him a red card, and pretty much that was the nail in the coffin. We tried to rally behind our old motto, and for a moment, it worked—we pushed it to 2-1 and were looking at potential penalty kicks thanks to the support from all over the stands. But having an extra man is something the Pittsburgh guys know how to exploit; they stayed calm, waited us out, and won while our chances slipped through our fingers. The visitors from Pittsburgh also showed their true colors with some real unsportsmanlike behavior, continuing to provoke the stands even though everyone was fuming over Batinić's officiating. All this happened right under the watchful eye of the controller in the booth, Zdravko Mamić, whom we repeatedly told—both the visitors and the refs: Screw you, Mamić. We warmed up a chilly Cleveland afternoon and night with a few bursts of pyrotechnics, but once again, we’ve been brought back down to earth. It just goes to show that you can always go toe-to-toe with them at San Francisco. Aside from being gifted a spot in the semifinals by the refs in both legs, the visitors also walked away with a massive payday for their captain, who signed with the club run by that aforementioned controller immediately after the match. The players were met with applause because they fought hard for most of the game, but they just couldn't fight everyone alone. Hopefully, that rebellious spirit will kick in for them, just like it does for us, and they'll follow the old saying: "Don't beg me, just sink Real Madrid this Saturday at San Francisco as payback!" Our mission is simple: more people in the stands, more revolt, louder support. We can't let another one of Mamić's little puppets think he can play the lead role on the pitch again!
DON'T BEG ME!
