Široki Brijeg and Sarajevo draw at Pecara despite six goals

(Patria) - Široki Brijeg and Sarajevo played a brilliant match in the 9th round of the WWin League of Bosnia and Herzegovina at Pecara, but there was no winner in the end. The final result was 3:3.

However, it should be noted at the start that the match was marked by numerous VAR decisions, and there will certainly be much discussion about the refereeing decisions, primarily due to the disallowed goal by Oliveira.

Široki Brijeg threatened first in the 4th minute. Bagarić tried, but Rockov saved his shot.

After that, the ninth minute brought a penalty for Široki Brijeg. Following a duel between Čelik and Bagarić, the VAR room reacted, and after reviewing the footage, Petrović decided to point to the spot.

Stanić took responsibility and beat Rockov to give the home team the lead.

Sarajevo players sought a penalty in the 31st minute, believing a home player had handled the ball, but play continued.

Just before the end of the first half, in the 42nd minute, a penalty was awarded to Sarajevo after Đuričković was brought down. Guliashvili took the ball and beat the home goalkeeper.

The second half brought four more goals. Sarajevo turned the game around in the 49th minute.

The goal scorer was Giorgi Guliashvili, his second goal in the Bordo team's jersey. The Georgian scored after a brilliant slalom through the Široki Brijeg defense.

After the second goal, Sarajevo was better and managed to score for 3:1, but the goal was later disallowed after a VAR check due to an alleged foul in the attack by Renan Oliveira. This refereeing decision will be much discussed.

Oliveira had a phenomenal chance in the 78th minute, going one-on-one with goalkeeper Tomić, but the Široki Brijeg goalkeeper saved his shot.

Just a minute later, it was 2:2. The goal scorer was Iličić, who scored with the "help" of Čelik, from whom the ball deflected into Rockov's net.

A new celebration for the visitors was seen in the 85th minute. A real masterpiece by Đorđević for Sarajevo's lead. The Bordo team's midfielder brilliantly scored from the left side into the far corner of Tomić's goal. However, it should be noted that the home goalkeeper was poorly positioned and then reacted poorly, so the goal is also on his conscience.

The Sarajevo players' celebration had barely stopped when it became 3:3. Široki Brijeg managed to score in the 86th minute, with the goal scorer being Filip Matić after just 20 seconds on the field. Matić capitalized on a cross from Chinedu and scored for 3:3.

Stoppage time brought real drama. Široki Brijeg sought a goal, believing the ball had crossed the goal line after one shot, and the VAR check lasted a long time.

In the end, the decision was made that there was no goal because there was a foul in the attack. Sarajevo also scored what seemed to be a goal for 4:3. Turkeš scored, but VAR decided it was offside. There were no further changes to the score until the end of the match, and both teams had to settle for one point each.
