FK Zeljeznicar extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table to four points on Sunday by edging out title rivals NK Brotnjo 2-1.
Elvis equaliser
Zeljeznicar took full advantage NK Široki Brijeg's Saturday defeat by recording the win, aided by goals from Almir Gredic and Ivica Huljev either side of an Elvis Coric strike for Brotnjo.
Chance squandered
Meanwhile, fifth-placed NK Orašje missed the chance to go third after Ivan Jolic's goal gave rock-bottom NK Troglav a surprise 1-0 win. NK Posušje beat FK Sloboda Tuzla 1-0, while HŠK Zrinjski were awarded a 3-0 win over NK Iskra - despite no match being played - after Iskra failed to pay their competition
fee to the Bosnian and Herzegovina Football Federation.
