BOSNIAN PREMIJER LEAGUE 10th WEEK

It seems that FK Sarajevo is the one who have benefitted the most from the break which was given due to matches of Bosnian national football team. Just before the break, Sarajevo had two defeats, the first one was 3-1 away defeat in Bosnian Cup against Zrinjski, and the second one was 1-0 away match against Travnik. Those two defeats decreased the point difference between Zeljo and Sarajevo into two. It seems, Sarajevo players, who were demoralized by those results had an effective therapy during the break. They had a nice 2-0 home victory against Borac Banja Luka, where they scored the two goals by defence players. On the other side, Borac felt behind the struggle for championship after losing the three points

Zeljo took three points from the 2-1 away match in Srebrenik. The three goals of the match were scored by railroaders. Defender Jadranko Bogiçeviç scored the first goal for Zeljo at 22nd minute, and he scored the last goal of the match at 90+4, but into his own net this time. It is a not bad that a defender player scores two goals in a match, but would have been better if both were scored in the same net, most preferably in the net of the rival team.

The most spectacular result came from Mostar. Velez scored six goals against Travnik! Mirza Çemaloviç, son of Mostar aged 19 had a hat-trick in the match where nobody expected that kind of a result.

Çelik was the team, who finally cut off the path of Zrinjski on her silence but sure way to championship struggle. Prisoners (Robijaşi – the nick name of Çelik football fans) had a 2-0 home victory against Zrinjski and they caused the point between Zrinjski and the leader to increase up to 6 points again.

FK SLOBODA TUZLA

Sloboda does not pass through easier day in First League of Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina, who was relegated from Premijer League last year after unlucky games at last weeks. It seems Sloboda still goes ahead with black clouds over them. Sloboda Tuzla had a 3-1 home victory against NK Jedinstvo Bihaç and increased to 8th rank. Next week, they will have another home match against NK Iskro Bugojno and a probable victory may increase Sloboda to upper positions in the league table.

FK NOVI PAZAR

Novi Pazar missed chance this week against OFK Beograd, who had easy defeats against Novi Pazar’s struggle to stay in the league last season. However, Novi Pazar not only could not take the revenge and but also lost the opportunity to have three easy points at home and had a home 0-0 draw. In case of a victory, they would increase to fifth rank, however they stayed at sixth.

This weekend, Pazarci will play against Partizan in away match, the leader of Serbian Super Liga and shall not be surprise if they will drop down to 10th rank.
