HSK Zrinjski Mostar edged past Rudar Prijedor 1-0 in the Bosnia and Herzegovina Premier League, securing a hard-fought three points at the Stadion pod Bijelim Brijegom. A first-half penalty, calmly converted by the team's captain, was the difference in a match where the reigning champions were pushed all the way by a determined Rudar side. Zrinjski dominated possession but found it difficult to break down a well-organized defense, with the penalty incident being the major talking point after a handball was spotted by the assistant referee. Rudar Prijedor had several chances on the counter-attack, including a late header that sailed just over the bar, but could not find an equalizer. The match result keeps Zrinjski at the top of the Premier League table, maintaining their title defense momentum, while Rudar remains in a difficult position near the bottom. The Zrinjski manager acknowledged the tough challenge, and the Rudar coach was proud of his team's effort despite the loss.
