Sloboda Players Left the Field, Then Applauded Gigović and Assistants

(Patria) - A very important duel in the fight for survival in the elite football league of our country was played at the Tušanj stadium, and after 85 minutes of the match, dissatisfied with the refereeing of Miloš Gigović, the Sloboda players left the field, thus ending the match with Posušje at a score of 1:1.

Sloboda entered this match as the last-placed team in the WWin league of BiH with only eight points, but after a surprising draw at Košev. The guests from Posušje entered the match at Tušanj as the ninth-placed team with 28 points, which is five less than eighth-placed Radnik. In the previous round, Posušje suffered a 2:1 defeat against Radnik.

In the previous two encounters between tonight's rivals, Posušje won both times with a score of 2:0.

Already in the third minute of the match, the home captain Kurtalić received a yellow card for a careless tackle according to referee Gigović's assessment. The guests threatened for the first time from that free kick.

It was the 15th minute when two more Sloboda players were noted by Miloš Gigović, Hadžanović received a yellow card for a harsh tackle, while Jašarević received a yellow card for protesting, and Bekavac sent a cross from a free kick that was easily handled by the home team's defense.

There was a lot of nervousness on the field in the first 20 minutes, so Gigović had his hands full. Jovašević received a new yellow card for a clash with Kobiljar. The first real excitement was seen in the 25th minute when Kobiljar passed on the right side and sent an excellent cross, but the Posušje striker, Pavković, headed poorly from close range.

The home players freed themselves from the pressure and in the 29th minute got their first corner in tonight's match. Bojo crossed, but Pavković headed it out for another corner for Sloboda. Jovašević crossed, but Posušje's defense cleared the danger. Erick set up Čuljak in the 37th minute, and he reached the ball first and pushed it past Lolić, but it was the home player Fai who put it into his own net, giving Posušje the lead.

Until the end of the first half, Raca tried with a header, but the visiting goalkeeper was alert and saved his attempt without major problems.

The second half began with an unusual situation. Lamadžema was ready to enter the game, but it turned out he was not on the roster, so he went to the locker room instead of the field.

Sloboda's coach, Janković, still made a double substitution. Beganović and Dervišagić replaced Raca and Hadžanović, and already in the twentieth second of the second half, Džafić skillfully found himself in the Posušje penalty area and scored to equalize the score at 1:1.

After conceding a goal, the guests threatened from a set piece. Erick shot from a free kick, but the ball went into a corner after hitting the wall, after which there was no danger to Sloboda's goal.

In the 52nd minute, the match was interrupted because an 'uninvited' guest ran onto the field, and the match resumed after a three-minute break.

The guests threatened again in the 62nd minute after a corner, but Beganović intervened well. The guests threatened again five minutes later. Pavković first shot from a distance, far wide of the goal, and shortly after, Lolić distinguished himself with a good save right in front of Pavković.

The home team's coach made changes in the 69th minute. Bojo and Džafić were replaced by Kalesić and Said Ahmed.

It was the 82nd minute when Miloš Gigović showed a direct red card to Dervišagić, and three minutes later, Gigović was again in the spotlight. After a duel between Hasanbegović and Živković, the main referee pointed to the penalty spot, which caused outrage among the home team's players, who decided to leave the field for a moment.

As the refereeing team entered the locker room, the players and attending fans gave Gigović and his assistants an ironic round of applause, and then went to their most loyal fans.
