Sarajevo and Radnik Bijeljina met in the opening round of the Premier League, and neither side could find the net. The match ended 0:0 on Saturday evening at the stadium.
He watched the whole thing, and what he remembers is minute twenty — a midfield scramble that neither side won cleanly. And here's the thing, that's how the game felt: neither team got over the line.
By then, the discipline was already becoming a talking point. Radnik collected six yellow cards against Sarajevo's single booking. A. Markovic and M. Kupresak went off early, while O. Klenpic picked up trouble before being substituted himself.
To be fair, the statistics showed a match where possession didn't translate into chances. Sarajevo held 60 per cent of the ball and registered 115 attacks, yet only managed four shots on target. Radnik, with 40 per cent possession and 102 attacks, found themselves in the same position.
The substitutions told a story of managers trying to change momentum. Barisic came on at half-time for Sarajevo, while Mikic joined the home side in the sixty-sixth minute. Radnik brought on Klenpic, A. Markovic, and Elezi in the final quarter.
The result leaves Sarajevo fourth on ten points from six games, while Radnik sit tenth with three points. The Bosnian side have won three and lost twice, whereas the visitors have yet to register a victory.
