Ulyanik and Luko shared four points in a Second League encounter that finished 2:2 on Friday. The hosts had been perfect through three matches, sitting top of the table with nine points from three wins. Luko arrived sixth with one victory, one draw and one defeat. The result leaves Ulyanik still at the summit but with their unbeaten run broken.
T. Zikovic opened the scoring in the seventh minute, catching the visitors unprepared. Ulyanik looked comfortable after that, controlling possession and moving the ball with purpose. Luko needed to respond and they found a way back into it.
L. Buic equalised in the twenty-seventh minute before K. Kovacic restored the lead just six minutes later. By then the match had shifted into something more even-paced, with both sides trading attacks. Luko kept knocking on the door and eventually found their second equaliser.
P. Bulic headed home in the ninetieth minute to rescue a point for the visitors. The goal came late enough to leave Ulyanik stunned, and here's the thing — they had been the team in control until that moment. Luko sat deep and soaked it up before pouncing.
Ulyanik remain first with nine points after three matches, though the perfect record is gone. Luko move to six points from their third game, sitting sixth but still within striking distance of the top half. The gap between them is now three points rather than five.
We had backed a home win at fifty-one percent confidence, but the match went another way. It wasn't that Luko were better — they were overrun in midfield for long stretches — but the late equaliser changed everything. Sometimes it's not about who plays better, it's about who finishes the job.
