Eight goals at Tušanj, six in Tuzla City's net

(Patria) - Banja Luka's Borac has moved a step closer to the title of champion of Bosnia and Herzegovina today, writes Faktor.ba.

In the 31st round of the BiH Premier League at the Tušanj stadium, Banja Luka defeated Tuzla City with a score of 6:2 and extended their lead over Zrinjski to plus eight.

Tuzla City took the lead in the 11th minute. Vuković made a wrong pass in the middle, the hosts intercepted it, Mašović received the ball into space, entered the penalty area, skillfully got rid of his marker, and then hit Borac's net with a cannon shot.

Borac equalized in the 14th minute - Blagaić scored after a cross from Hrelja.

The league leaders turned the game around in the 29th minute. Grahovac hammered the ball under the crossbar after a pass from Blagaić.

In first-half stoppage time, Vranješ escaped the home defense and scored the third goal for Borac in the match.

That wasn't all in the first half, as Borac reached their fourth goal through Lukić, making it 4:1 at the end of the first 45 minutes.

Tuzla City reduced the deficit in the 62nd minute with a goal from Nukić.

Adnan Osmanhodžić's team finished the match with one player less, as Huso Karjašević was sent off in the 80th minute, shortly after coming on.

In the 86th minute, Hrelja increased Borac's lead to 5:2, and Pejović set the final score in the 89th minute.

Borac will become the new champion if Zrinjski does not beat GOŠK tonight in Gabela. If the Mostar team wins, Banja Luka will have the opportunity to confirm the first place in the next round in front of their fans when Igman visits them.

Tuzla City remained in 11th position with 27 points, which is five points less than the safe zone, and it is increasingly likely that Tuzla will play in the First League of FBiH next season.
