“For the pride, for the city, for Europe”, was short description of 107th league derby of Sarajevo rivals Zeljeznicar and Sarajevo, who played at the stadium “Asim Ferhatovic Hase” in the 26th round BHT Premier League. Zeljeznicar was celebrating with 1: 0.
Unlike last year’s derby, when Sarajevo and Zeljeznicar were fighting for the title in May at the stadium “Asim Ferhatovic Hase”, this derby is a fight for a place in qualifications for the Europa League. Currently second and third place are leading to the Europa League, but if Sloboda wins Cup of BiH and remains among the top three teams in the league, then the fourth place will lead to the qualifications for the Europa League as well.
The city was overflown by members of Horde zla and Manijaci. Fans of Sarajevo, popular Horde zla, gathered next to the Sarajevo Cathedral, and headed towards Kosevo stadium through Ferhadija. Fans of the football club Zeljeznicar headed to the stadium “Asim Ferhatovic Hase” from Suada and Olga Bridge.
Message of Manijaci was clear. Zeljeznicar fans wrote on the banner: “Today you have to give everything.”
The first great chance was in the 32nd minute of match for Mihojevic after a corner. Duljevic centered, the home team threw the ball to the top of the penalty area and the young stoper took it. There was a dangerous shot after which Sarajevo had a new corner. Amer Bekic threatened, but without danger for the visitors.
