REPORT | HŠK Posušje 0:1 HŠK Zrinjski

Zrinjski secured yet another victory, their seventh consecutive league win, away at Posušje (1:0), with the only goal of the match scored by Nemanja Bilbija from a penalty kick in the 32nd minute.

Facing a team that took five points from us earlier this season, Plemići’s coach Željko Petrović made three changes from the Sarajevo match (4:3) – Marko Marić, who was suspended, was replaced by Goran Karačić, Mario Tičinović played on the left flank instead of Sebastian Corde, and Nardin Mulahusjenović started in place of Antonijo Ivančić.

However, midway through the first half, Petrović was forced to make his third substitution this spring, replacing Silvio Ilinković with Franko Sabljić, alongside Matija Malekinušić, who came on for Ivančić.

After an evenly contested start with good chances for Mario Ćuže and Nikola Mandić, Zrinjski had an opportunity to take the lead when the ball struck Branko Vrgoč’s hand in the home penalty area, leading to a penalty kick awarded by referee Irfan Peljto. Zrinjski’s captain, Nemanja Bilbija, converted the penalty for his 23rd goal of the season, solidifying his position as the league’s top scorer.

Despite several promising situations, we held onto the one-goal lead until the end of the match, securing the victory. With this triumph, we remain five points behind the league leaders, Borac, with four rounds left in the championship race. Our upcoming matches include home fixtures against Široki Brijeg and Tuzla City, and away games against GOŠK and Igman.
