Bosnia-Herzegovina round-up: Orašje on the up

NK Orašje moved up to third in the Bosnia-Herzegovnian Premier League on Saturday after claiming a 2-0 home victory over HŠK Zrinjski.

Brasnic goal
Velimir Brasnic put the hosts ahead after 17 minutes and Stamenko Coskovic sealed the points with a second goal two minutes after the hour mark. The result puts Orašje level on points with second-placed NK Široki Brijeg and seven points adrift of leaders FK Zeljeznicar.

Emphatic win
FK Velez moved away from the fringes of the relegation zone in emphatic style, thumping NK Bosna 5-0 at home. Dzenan Zaimovic and Nedim Jusufbegovic scored first-half goals to put the home side firmly in control. Further strikes from Admir Velagic (58 minutes), Adnan Teletovic (82) and Nedzad Serdarevic (89) completed a fine performance in what has been an indifferent season for the club.

Close to the drop zone
NK Jedinstvo are hovering perilously above the drop zone after slipping to a 1-0 defeat at NK Iskra. Senid Kulas scored the only goal of the game to hand Iskra the victory and leave Jedinstvo just one point and one place above the relegation places.

Battling draw
Elsewhere, FK Sloboda Tuzla and NK Celik battled to a 1-1 draw, a result which leaves Sloboda languishing in mid-table and Celik fifth from bottom.
