Leaders held in Visoko
Zeleznicar took a first-half lead through Almir Gredic but failed to press home their advantage in the second half, allowing Mirzet Alagic to equalise at the Luke stadium with six minutes to go.
Široki thwarted
However there was good news for Zeleznicar as their local rivals NK Olimpik Sarajevo beat title hopefuls NK Široki Brijeg 3-1 at the Olimpijski stadium. Edis Cindrak cancelled out Danijel Bajkusa's 49th-minute strike, but the hosts sealed a morale-boosting win thanks to goals from Ahmed Hadzispahic and Sasa Vulevic.
Jedinstvo hang on
NK Jedinstvo were left holding on for a 3-2 win against FK Velez after racing into a three-goal lead. Goals from Miroslav Tomic, Halim Stupac and Damir Mujadzic looked to have wrapped up victory for the mid-table side but there was a nervous finish in store as Elis Coric reduced the deficit in the 89th minute and Admir Kajtaz added a second 60 seconds later.
Sarajevo hit three
A 30th-minute goal from Anes Zukic clinched a 1-0 win for NK Celik over the bottom club, NK Grude, while FK Sarajevo inflicted a 3-0 defeat on NK Orašje, courtesy of goals from Emir Obuca, Adnan Osmanhodzic and Edin Dudo.
