Bosnia-Herzegovina round-up: Leotar maintain narrow advantage

FK Leotar remained top of the Bosnia-Herzegovnian Premier League despite being held to a 1-1 draw at FK Mladost Gacko on Wednesday.

Top two held
Dusan Kerkex gave Leotar the lead after 32 minutes, but Milan Stanjevic equalised for the home side midway through the second period. The point kept Leotar two points ahead of NK Zeljeznicar, who were also held, drawing 0-0 at FK Celik.

More frustration
Third-placed FK Sarajevo were another side to be frustrated, drawing 0-0 at home to FK Buducnost Banovici, which enabled NK Široki Brijeg in fourth to close the gap to a single point with a narrow 1-0 victory at FK Bosna. Hrvoje Erceg scored the decisive goal.

Away success
Meanwhile, struggling NK Zepce were surprise winners, achieving three important points with a 3-1 away win at FK Rudar Ugljevik. Two goals in the last 20 minutes from Sead Salahovic and one from Mladen Vidovic won the game for Zepce, with the home side's only response a Sasa Kuzmanovic consolation.

Unusual goal
A goal direct from a corner by Srdan Colic after 66 minutes proved sufficient for FK Kozara to defeat FK Sloboda Tuzla 1-0, while a single goal was also enough for NK Zrinjski, with Zelimir Terkes's strike securing a 1-0 home win against NK Brotnjo.

Two-goal victories
Elsewhere, FK Borac Banja Luka won 2-0 at FK Glasinac thanks to second-half goals from Zoran Indic and Vladan Grujic with a penalty, while Denis Ljuta scored twice in NK Posušje’s 2-0 home win against FK Velez. NK Orašje took the lead at NK Jedinstvo after ten minutes through Slaven Damjanovic, but two goals from Alen Mesanovic, one a penalty and the other direct from a corner, turned the match around.
