Sutjeska and Otrant-Olympic met in the First League's regular season third round on Saturday, and the visitors took a 4-1 victory away from home. M. Uskokovic opened the scoring for the hosts in the fifth minute, but A. Boljevic levelled shortly after before Otrant-Olympic pulled away in the second half. The result moves the visitors up the table while the hosts remain rooted around the lower half.
Uskokovic's early strike gave Sutjeska a brief lead, though Boljevic answered within three minutes to erase it. By then the match had settled into something more predictable. Otrant-Olympic took control after Rudovic's goal on thirty-two minutes, and here's the thing — they never really looked back.
Twenty-five minutes had passed when D. Hocko picked up a yellow card, a moment that coincided with the shift in momentum. Sutjeska had more attacks and corners, but shots on target stayed level at six apiece. The visitors converted their chances more efficiently, and to be fair, the hosts never quite found their rhythm after going behind.
Statistics show Sutjeska dominated possession at 52 per cent and registered 130 attacks compared to 99 for Otrant-Olympic. Both sides landed six shots on target, yet the scoreboard told a different story. Shots off target were slightly higher for the visitors, which says something about how they pressed forward.
Sutjeska sit eighth with five points from six games, while Otrant-Olympic occupy fifth place on seven points from five matches. The hosts have now lost three of their last five league outings, while the visitors have shown they can compete away from home. What matters is that Otrant-Olympic proved they can take points where it counts.
