Tosh Tanjani kept Stupčanica Olovo from scoring as the hosts won 2:0 in the First League of Bosnia and Herzegovina on Sunday. The match took place at the 7th stage of the FBiH section, and the result leaves the visitors still sitting second in the table.
To be fair, Stupčanica had come into this fixture in decent form. They had won four of their last five games before the trip to Tosh Tanjani, including a 4:1 victory over Budućnost Banovići on 20 September. The only blemish in that run was a 1:2 defeat away at Tomislav the week before.
Tosh Tanjani, meanwhile, have been hard to pin down this season. Seven games played, three wins, four defeats, and nine points puts them eighth. Their last five results read like a pattern of inconsistency: losses to Travník, Sloboda Tuzla, GOŠK Gabela and Radnik Hadžići, punctuated by a 1:0 win against Zvijezda Gradačac.
And here's the thing about this scoreline — it does not shift the table order. Stupčanica remain two points behind the leaders with a game in hand, while Tosh Tanjani stay rooted in the middle of the pack. The gap between them is still six points.
By then, the visitors had already shown they can grind out results when needed. A 2:0 win away at Rudar Kakanj and a 3:0 home victory over Igman Konjich earlier in the campaign suggested they are not reliant on open play alone.
The clean-sheet run for Tosh Tanjani came to an end in the previous fixture, but this time they kept their discipline. No cards or substitutions were recorded in the data, so there is nothing to add beyond the result and the standings.
What matters now is the shape of the table after this round. Stupčanica sit on 15 points from five wins and two losses. Tosh Tanjani, with three wins and four defeats, have drifted further from the top half ambitions they may have started with.
