Hosts seal success in Tuzla

A last-day win against Croatia's Varazdin AMA sent Bosnia-Herzegvina's Tuzla Canton AMA through to the UEFA Regions' Cup final as Group 3 winners.

Winning goal
Having drawn their previous two games, Tuzla needed a win against Varazdin to stand any chance of progressing to next summer's eight-team event, which will bring together Europe's finest amateur footballers, and a 38th-minute goal from Ramiz Alibasić sealed their progress at the Tušanj stadium in Tuzla.

Final act
It was to be the final dramatic act of an extremely competitive tournament which started with the home side sharing the spoils in a 1-1 draw against Russia's Southern Federal District AMA in Tuzla, Esmir Hasanović opening the scoring for the hosts before Aleksandr Nalivkin levelled after 56 minutes.

Sabo strikes

Drava rescued
Tuzla Canton were denied a win in their second game in Banovici. Marijan Gajcević put Fuad Grbesić's side ahead after 20 minutes but Drava denied them as Gergely Laki made it 1-1 after 82 minutes. With goals from Milicić, Dumancić, Tomica Milinarec and Davor Balent giving Varazdin a 4-0 win against Southern Federal District – who had Andrei Krivenko dismissed – on the same day, it was close going into the final day.

Red card
Goals from Vazgen Mosiyan and Artur Khugaev on Matchday 3 gave Southern Federal District a 2-0 win against Drava, while Alibasić sealed Tuzla Canton's success. A goal from Varazdin, however, would have sent them through, and the frustration showed as Ivan Vuković received a second yellow card five minutes from time.
