After four wins - a defeat, and that on the home field. Grbljani have slowed down on their European journey, although the loss of Rudar still keeps them in the game, while Čelik strengthened their position in third place with the victory in Radanovići.
On top of that, the chosen ones of Slavoljub Bubanja defeated Grbalj for the first time in the championship this season, and for the first time they shook their net, not once, but three times.
"We were losing at halftime, but I told the players during the break that they have nothing to lose and to continue attacking. This is a victory for Europe," said Čelika coach Slavoljub Bubanja.
In addition to five goals, Radanović was shown as many as 10 yellow cards, which shows what kind of battle was being fought for Europe.
Grbalj immediately took the lead. Luković took the corner, and Carević beat Banović from a few meters away.
The "Metallurgists" then returned to the game, thanks to a mistake by the home team - goalkeeper Mileta Radulović, while trying to shoot the ball, hit Ivanovic, who then had no difficulty putting the ball into the net.
In the 22nd minute, Grblj's new lead, Martinović worked brilliantly for Pepić, who rushed towards the goal and scored for 2:1.
At the beginning of the second half, Grbljani announced with the initiative that they could get the third goal, but instead they allowed the guests to equalize again.
Nikola Bogdanović missed the penalty, which was converted by Zorić.
The second goal gave the visiting footballers wings to go for the entire spoils, which they succeeded in the very finish - Račić made Radulović capitulate for the third time with a precise header.
"We played well in the first half. Pepić's injury hindered us significantly, and then Čelik's equalizer from the penalty spot. We lost because of our own mistakes, but that is an integral part of sport, we move on, nothing is over yet, we have a chance for Europe." pointed out Aleksandar Nedović, coach of Grblj.
