Zrinjski secured the title of autumn champion

(Patria) - Zrinjski achieved a victory away against Tuzla City unexpectedly easily, almost routinely. The leader thus further distanced themselves from their closest competitor in the standings.

The Mostar team appeared more concrete from the start compared to Husref Musemić's players, and Bilbija and Zlomislić missed good opportunities in the opening of the match.

The 'Noblemen' took the lead in the 21st minute, with the relentless Nemanja Bilbija in the right place. After Morris cleared the ball off the line, the Mostar captain ran onto it and put the ball into the net.

Then, Krpić and Mehanović had good chances on the other side, but they shot poorly.

Zrinjski could have doubled their lead in the 26th minute, but Tičinović hit the crossbar.

The 'Noblemen' were better in the second half as well. Tičinović missed a great opportunity in the 51st minute, shooting just wide of the home team's goal.

Then, goalkeeper Brajlović made several excellent saves against the onslaught from Mostar, but his team was no match in the 69th minute. Tičinović passed the ball to Kamenar, and Zrinjski's substitute scored from an angle to make it 0-2.

Not much else of interest happened until the end of the match. Coach Sergej Jakirović's team brought the match to a close without major problems and recorded three points, further solidifying their position at the top of the Premier League table. They now have ten points more than second-placed Tuzla City and, with two rounds left until the winter break, have secured the title of autumn champion.
