Travnik secured a 2:0 win over Vitez in the First League (FBiH) on 23 August, extending their flawless record to three matches from three. The hosts sit top of the table with nine points, while the visitors remain in 13th place with just two points from their opening fixtures. By then Travnik had already proven they could put results together, having beaten Rudar Kakanj 1:0 in their most recent outing.
The visitors came into this game carrying a draw against Sloboda Tuzla and two points from three games, but they could not find a way through the Travnik defence. Vitez had shown they could hold their own in a 2:2 draw with Buducnost Banovici earlier in the season, yet this was a different challenge altogether. The away side picked up one point in a goalless stalemate last weekend, but there was no repeat of that resistance here.
Travnik's recent form tells a straightforward story. They opened with a 1:0 victory, followed by a 1:1 draw against Radnik Hadzicici, and then a 4:0 demolition of Tuzla before their defeat to Vitez 0:2 in May. Since that loss, they have kept their clean-sheet run going with back-to-back wins, and this result kept them in it. The crowd roared them on as the home side controlled proceedings from start to finish.
Vitez's current position reflects a difficult start to the campaign. Three games, zero wins, two draws, one defeat — they are staring at the drop in the early stages. Their only positive was the 2:0 win over Travnik back in May, a result that now feels like a distant memory. The away side came for a cross they never reached, and the pattern repeated itself across the match.
The scoreline leaves Travnik three points clear at the summit, though the table does not tell the whole story. They have played the same number of games as everyone else, but their points total is double that of most sides. Vitez, meanwhile, have yet to taste victory and face a tough run ahead if they want to climb out of the bottom half.
