Streak broken: Sarajevo defeated at Pecara

(Patria) - NK Široki Brijeg defeated FK Sarajevo 1-0 at Pecara in the derby match of the 8th round of the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The match was decided by a masterpiece from Stephen Chinedu after a catastrophic mistake by the visiting goalkeeper Muhamed Šahinović.

Simon Rožman's streak of five undefeated matches on the FK Sarajevo bench was stopped tonight at Pecara.

Quite good football was played at Pecara in the first half. There were no goals, but there were chances, and very good ones.

It all started after 40 seconds. A mistake by the home players put Avramovski in a chance, but Tomić saved a clear shot from the Bordo team's player. In the continuation of the action and a corner, Đuričković headed wide.

Sarajevo had another good chance in the 18th minute. Ziljkić set up Duraković, who beat the defense, shot, but the ball hit the post.

Ten minutes later, Chinedu was very selfish in a two-on-one situation and did not want to pass to his teammate who was alone on the other side.

Then Hasić threatened from one side and Pranjić from the other, there was no change in the score, and in the 39th minute, Široki created their best chance of the first half.

Referee Miloš Gigović awarded a foul on the edge of the penalty area. Ćavar aimed for the corner, Šahinović saved phenomenally.

The teams went into halftime with a 0-0 score, and just as the second half began, Sarajevo missed another great chance. Kuprešak made a mistake, Oliveira stole the ball from him, but his shot was stopped by the post.

Chinedu tried from distance in the 53rd minute, but it was too weak to beat Šahinović.

Then Simon Rožman made a triple substitution. Čataković, Penaranda, and Kyeremeh came into the game for Ziljkić, Avramovski, and Oliveira for Sarajevo, but there were no major excitements.

And then in the 74th minute, Široki took the lead out of nowhere. Goalkeeper Šahinović made a cardinal mistake, hitting the ball against the home team's striker Chinedu, who used it and scored a beautiful lob to give his team a 1-0 lead.

A few seconds later, there was again carelessness in Sarajevo's defense, Široki did not capitalize, and then Sarajevo started pushing for an equalizer.

The visitors tried in every way, they had possession of the ball, but Široki had the best chance in stoppage time. Šahinović saved a clear shot from Bagarić, and the score remained 1-0 for the hosts.
