Bosnia-Herzegovina round-up: Zeljeznicar stay seven clear

League leaders FK Zeljeznicar remain seven points ahead of second-placed NK Široki Brijeg after a narrow 2-1 victory over FK Sloboda Tuzla. Goals from Jure Guvo and Dalibor Silic put the home side in control in the first half, but Admir Joldic's 72nd-minute effort set up a nervy finish.

Radonja scores twice
Sanjin Radonja scored twice as NK Bosna won 4-2 at home to NK Troglav. Radonja opened the scoring after 16 minutes and, after Denis Mudrinic's 25th-minute equaliser, Amir Cosic and Rodonja again both scored to make it 3-1. Although Miroslav Vrdoljak pulled a goal back on the stroke of half-time, Amir Karacic restored Bosna's two-goal advantage on 52 minutes.

Lightning start
Široki recorded an emphatic 4-1 triumph over NK Orašje. The hosts were 4-0 up after just 19 minutes thanks to strikes from Mirko Hrgovic (2), Denis Coric (12), Miro Katic (14) and Danijel Bajkusa (19). Velimijr Brasnic pulled one back for the visitors in the 54th minute but it was scant consolation.

Crucial win for Olimpik
NK Brotnjo also came out of the blocks early to secure a 2-0 home win against FK Sarajevo. Elvis Coric broke the deadlock after just two minutes and Miljenko Sevelj doubled the lead with 21 minutes gone. Across the city, NK Olimpik Sarajevo won a crucial home match against the basement club, NK Iskra, to move four points clear of their opponents. Samir Mekic converted a spot-kick on the stroke of half-time but the game was not won until Zajko Zeba's strike three minutes from the end.

Grude in danger
Mid-table FK Velez hammered struggling NK Grude 4-0 at home. Dzemal Zaimovic (15) Samir Kajtaz (40) Igor Remetic (53) and Nedim Jusufbegovic (57) scored the goals against a Grude side just one point above Iskra.

Celik hit five
Elsewhere, first-half strikes from Nedzad Zeric and Alen Mesanovic gave NK Jedinstvo a 2-0 win over NK Posušje, while Aldin Zlotrg struck a goal in each half to help NK Celik beat HŠK Zrinjski 5-2. Senad Brkic, Amir Zukic and Mustafa Hasanspahic were also on target, with Armando Marenci and Teo Kresic scoring for the visitors.
