TSK Bačka Topola saw off OFK Vršac 1-0 in the Prva Liga on Saturday evening, a result that keeps pressure on the visitors' position in the table. The hosts moved ahead through a decisive moment in the second half, settling a tight contest between two sides with contrasting records. By then the pattern was clear — Bačka Topola controlled territory while Vršac looked to counter.
Milosavic found the net in the 76th minute, capitalising on sustained pressure that had built throughout the evening. It was the breakthrough they needed, and the goal shifted the momentum decisively. To be fair, Vršac had threatened on the break but could not convert, while the home side kept pushing forward even after taking the lead.
Discipline became an issue as the match wore on, with five yellow cards falling to Bačka Topola compared to just one for the visitors. S. Jovanovic was booked twice before being substituted in the 67th minute, a costly double booking that forced a tactical adjustment. The late yellow card in stoppage time suggested nerves were fraying on both sides.
Substitutions came thick and fast in the second half, with eight changes recorded between the two sides. Bačka Topola brought on N. Gojkov, D. Glavinic and D. Savic as they looked to hold their advantage, while Vršac tried to inject fresh legs into their attack. The old head settled them down, but the visitors could not find an equaliser despite late urgency.
Statistics told the story of dominance without domination — Bačka Topola enjoyed 64 per cent possession and registered 129 attacks against 89 from Vršac. Five shots on target for the hosts yielded one goal, while Vršac managed four attempts but came up empty. The numbers reflect a side that kept the ball but needed that one moment of quality to win.
Bačka Topola sit second with 15 points from seven games, unbeaten through four wins and three draws. Vršac occupy seventh place on 12 points after four victories and three defeats, a run that leaves them without a draw all season. This result tightens the gap and means the visitors cannot afford another slip if they want to climb.
