Potkozarje and Ljetar played out a 1:1 draw in the first league on Saturday evening. The match took place in stage RS-8, and neither side managed to separate themselves. We had backed the visitors to win — 41 per cent confidence, if you remember — but the game refused to follow that script.
Ljetar arrived with four wins on the bounce, including a 3:0 demolition of Famos Vojkovići on Tuesday. Potkozarje had been less consistent, losing three of their last five before picking up back-to-back victories against Majevica Lopare and Romania Pale. To be fair, momentum doesn't always translate into results on the pitch.
The home side took the lead and then held on. Ljetar equalised, and by then neither team wanted to risk opening up. It's always the same story — teams that have worked a short corner in the opening minutes sit back when they realise the other side is pushing. The draw brought them together early, and neither wanted to break the pattern.
Recent form tells a different story from the final score. Potkozarje's clean-sheet run came to an end, while Ljetar's blistering start to the season lost some of its sheen. They lost three of five before this, then won four straight — but against opposition that doesn't test them like this match did.
As for the table, RS-8 has only just begun. Four teams sit on zero games and zero points, which means the standings say nothing yet. A point each keeps both sides in the mix, but nothing more. The result doesn't shift anyone's position, and it doesn't end anyone's run.
