Bosnia-Herzegovina round-up: Leaping Leotar

FK Leotar continued their fine start to the season with a convincing 3-0 win at NK Posušje to move top of the Bosnia-Herzegovina Premier League.

Easy win
Nenad Stojanovic netted twice for the visitors, opening the scoring after just 12 minutes. Sinisa Mulina doubled the advantage from the penalty spot just after the half-hour, before Stojanovic wrapped up the points with his second of the night 10 minutes after the break.

Double dose
Hrvoje Erceg and Nikola Juricic both notched doubles as second-placed NK Široki Brijeg were held to a 4-4 draw in an entertaining match at FK Sarajevo. Erceg had scored his brace and put Široki 2-0 up by the 34th minute, but Emir Obuca hit back for the home side just three minutes later. Juricic then netted after 65 and 69 minutes to give the visitors a comfortable 4-1 lead, before strikes from Dzemo Smjecanin in the 76th minute and Muamer Kurto in the 88th and 90th minute levelled the game.

Falling down
FK Rudar Ugljevik dropped to third place after going down 2-1 at FK Mladost Gacko. Mladost went in front thanks to Marko Vidakovic's 33rd-minute strike and, although Ugljevik pulled level just after the hour through Zeljko Lukic, Igor Popovic hit the winner for the hosts nine minutes from time.

Wasted chance
FK Zeljeznicar wasted the chance to go top after struggling to a 1-1 draw at HŠK Zrinjski. It was a tale of two penalties in a tightly contested match, Zrinjski taking the lead through Armando Marenzzi's spot-kick in the 55th minute and the visitors levelling 15 minutes from time courtesy of Senad Zeric.

Rock bottom
NK Velez remain rooted to the foot of the table despite winning away to NK Celik. Goals from Asmir Dzafic, Nedzad Serdarevic and Arnel Skaljic saw Velez run out 3-2 victors. Nermin Sabiae and Dzemal Tabakovic were on target for the home side. Velez are level on points with the side just above them, NK Zovko Zepce, who crashed to their fourth defeat of the season against FK Kozara, going down 3-2.

Remaining ties
Elsewhere, NK Jedinstvo beat FK Borac Banja Luka 4-0, NK Brotnjo and FK Buducnost Banovici shared the points in a 2-2 draw, while NK Orašje triumphed 3-2 over FK Sloboda Tuzla. The match between NK Glasinac and NK Bosna was postponed and will be played next Wednesday.
