Tomislav and GOŠK Gabela met in the First League of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina on Saturday, and the visitors collected all three points with a 3:0 victory.
By then, Tomislav had already played three matches and found themselves without a single point, sitting fifteenth in the table. GOŠK Gabela had won every game so far and sat second with nine points. And here's the thing — the result simply reflected two very different starts to the season.
The hosts had started the season with a 3:1 win over Posusha but followed that with a heavy 0:3 defeat to Široki Brijeg. They had beaten Tuzla City 4:0 and shared the points with TOSK Tešanj, but this result meant they stayed at the bottom.
GOŠK Gabela had drawn with Čelik and Radnik Hadžići in earlier fixtures before winning three straight. They had beaten Tuzla City 4:1 and held TOSK Tešanj to a 2:2 draw, but this was their third consecutive win and they kept their heads throughout.
The nine points separate them from Tomislav at the top of the table, and the gap only grows with this result.
