The Borac team celebrated a 2:1 victory against Zrinjski, most likely deciding the race for the champion of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as Borac now has 12 points more than Mostar.
"I think the key thing was the players' attitude. We showed that with a firm stance, determination to score a goal and move forward, that brought the victory today. We started the match excellently, and then Zrinjski had a couple of good opportunities. We were good and knew what awaited us. We wanted to exploit the space after winning the ball, and we had four or five such situations. Sometimes the key pass was missing," said Cvitanović.
He also mentioned making several rotations in the team because they had to play against a very strong opponent.
"We definitely persevered until the end. We rotated certain things in the defensive setup. In the end, we must be satisfied with this victory because we faced a quality opponent. Zrinjski shows how good they are. This tough match went our way, and I must be happy and proud of the team," added Cvitanović, reflecting on the final push for European qualification.
"There are eight rounds left until the end. It will be an uncertain battle until the finish. In every match, we must show energy and attitude. We have to play matches with the desire to win them, not just play. When you go out with such an attitude, it's much easier. There is still more to play until the end, and I hope we will be good until the finish," concluded Cvitanović.
