TSK Bačka Topola Hold On for Late Victory at Sloga Ub
TSK Bačka Topola secured a 3-2 triumph over Sloga Ub in the Prva Liga's regular season on Saturday evening. The visitors, sitting second in the table with 15 points from seven games, extended their unbeaten run to eight matches. Sloga Ub, meanwhile, remain rooted to 15th place with just four points and have not won since their opening-day victory.
A. Todoroski opened the scoring in the 32nd minute, only to add a penalty himself on the stroke of half-time. The Swiss striker collected the spot-kick after 45 minutes of play, sending the home side into the break trailing 2-0. It was a difficult start for the hosts, who had already seen M. Radin and V. Krstic booked before the interval.
S. Fall restored TSK's two-goal cushion in the 88th minute, but the game suddenly turned on its head. M. Milosavic and U. Savkovic struck in quick succession during stoppage time, with the home side pulling back to within one goal. The stadium fell silent as the final whistle approached, and the visitors held firm to claim all three points.
What stood out was how the match unfolded. TSK were dominant in the air from set plays, winning more throw-ins than their opponents, while Sloga threw bodies in the way to limit their chances. The draw brought them together early, but it was TSK's composure that made the difference.
Both sides shared possession evenly at 50 percent, though Sloga registered more attacks and corners. Each team landed nine shots on target, but TSK were more efficient with their efforts. The home side committed five offsides compared to none, and picked up four yellow cards to Sloga's two.
The result keeps TSK Bačka Topola in the upper echelons of the table, four points off the leaders after seven rounds. Sloga Ub cannot afford another slip, sitting just one point above the relegation zone. The gap between the two sides remains clear, even if the scoreline suggested a closer contest.
