Rudar Prijedor secured a convincing 4:1 victory over Romanija Pale in the second round of the First League - RS. The home side turned things around after a difficult run of results. Romanija Pale came into the fixture with momentum from their previous win.
Rudar Prijedor had been struggling, suffering four defeats in their last five matches. They had lost 0:3 to Orient 1919 and 0:1 to Sloga Doboj in their most recent outings. This result offered a chance to redress that balance.

The match ended with a comfortable margin for the hosts. Rudar Prijedor got over the line after a challenging start to the campaign. Romanija Pale's brief period of confidence came to an end.
This is the second round of the season, so the table remains largely undecided. Both sides will be looking to build from this result.
