In an intense match-up between FK Velež Mostar and NK Široki Brijeg, the visitors secured a 2-1 victory, primarily due to their early strike and strategic play. The opening goal by NK Široki Brijeg within the first three minutes set the tone, forcing FK Velež Mostar to chase the game from the onset. Široki Brijeg’s disciplined approach and quick counter-attack strategy allowed them to double their lead in the second half, placing the home team under immense pressure.

FK Velež Mostar struggled with timing their runs effectively, as evidenced by being caught offside four times, which disrupted their attacking flow. Despite winning three corner kicks compared to Široki Brijeg’s one, Velež Mostar could not translate these set-piece opportunities into goals. Their eventual breakthrough in the 85th minute came too late to mount a successful comeback.

Discipline was a noticeable issue for NK Široki Brijeg, as evidenced by the four yellow cards they accumulated, indicating aggressive and at times reckless defending. This overzealous approach, however, did not cost them a player due to no red cards being issued. Meanwhile, FK Velež Mostar maintained better discipline with only one yellow card. The absence of any red cards for both teams meant that all players remained on the field, allowing for a fair contest till the final whistle.
