If Sarajevo earns a point in the remaining five rounds, they can at worst finish in fourth place, but in that case Velež would be third and would then secure a spot in Europe, meaning fourth place would also lead to the Conference League.
In today's match, the Bordeaux team controlled the proceedings, but there weren't many chances in the first half.
A notable attempt was Shane Maroodza's header from a corner, while on the other side, a shot by Jose Mulato was saved by goalkeeper Sanin Mušija. The teams went into halftime without a goal.
We saw the key moment of the match in the 49th minute. Jovan Ivanišević powerfully shot from distance, the ball hit a defender and deceived Posušje's goalkeeper, giving Sarajevo the lead.
As the duel neared its end, Posušje threw all their assets into attack.
This type of play led to two very good opportunities for the home team, but on both occasions, Sarajevo's defense reacted brilliantly with timely interventions and blocks.
It was particularly dangerous in the 73rd minute when Dejan Kerkez was alone in front of the visitors' goal, but as he positioned himself for the finish, someone from Sarajevo's defense managed to block it.
Sarajevo's footballers held onto the minimal lead, thus confirming they are in excellent form. This is the fourth consecutive victory for the Bordeaux team.
Thus, Sarajevo has solidified its third-place position on the table, and with five rounds remaining, they only need to earn one point to mathematically secure a spot in the Conference League next season.
Posušje, on the other hand, in the battle for survival, has six points more than the first team below the relegation line.
In the next round, Sarajevo hosts Borac, while Posušje will visit Rudar in Prijedor in a direct duel for survival.
