Football players from Zrinjski from Mostar were defeated tonight in the fifth round of the UEFA Conference League away from Poland’s Rakow, with a score of 0:1.
In a not-so-quality match, the home team was slightly better and had the initiative for most of the match, and the moment of decision happened in the referee’s time of the first half.
Nemanja Bilbija, the captain of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s representative in this European competition, played with his hand, so the Czech referee Ondrej Berka justifiedly, after the VAR check, awarded a penalty for the Poles.
Norwegian international Jonatan Brunes shot from the penalty spot. Goalkeeper Goran Karačić read his intention, touched the ball with his fingertips, but it ended up in his goal.
With this defeat, Zrinjski remained at six points won, so they are in 26th place in the table out of a total of 36 teams in this season’s Conference League. The team from our country, a round before the end of the league part of the competition, shares two positions until the placement in the play-off knock out phase of the competition.
In the last round, Zrinjski will host the Austrian Rapid, which is playing desperately this season and is last in the Conference League without a point won. The match will be played at the stadium “Bijeli Brijeg” in Mostar on December 18.
