In a commanding performance, FK Sarajevo triumphed over Radnik Hadžići with a decisive 3-0 victory in the Round of 32 of the Bosnia Cup on October 28, 2025. The match, played at an undisclosed venue, showcased Sarajevo's attacking prowess and defensive solidity, catapulting them into the next stage of the tournament.
After a mixed bag of results in recent matches, where Radnik Hadžići managed just one win in their last five outings, expectations ran high for a cup upset. However, FK Sarajevo, buoyed by their recent win against Sloga Doboj, entered the match looking to find their footing once more.
The first goal came in the 27th minute when Amar Begić found the back of the net, igniting cheers from Sarajevo supporters. The striker's continued form has been integral for Sarajevo, and this goal set the tone for the rest of the match. Radnik Hadžići, despite their efforts, struggled to create meaningful chances and seemed to lose momentum as the half progressed.
As the second half commenced, Radnik needed to regroup quickly to prevent the match from slipping further away. However, just ten minutes in, a clinical finish from Luka Avramović doubled the lead for Sarajevo. His precise shot left Radnik goalkeeper Mirza Džafić with little chance, effectively sealing the outcome for the visiting side. With the score now 2-0, the pressure was firmly on Radnik Hadžići to respond.
Despite a late effort to push forward, Radnik's hopes were dashed when Nermin Smajić scored the third for Sarajevo in the 84th minute. With the match winding down, Smajić's goal illustrated the difference in quality and experience between the two sides. The final whistle confirmed a comfortable victory for Sarajevo, who have now solidified their standing in the tournament and gained much-needed confidence for their upcoming league encounters.
This result underscores a continuation of struggles for Radnik Hadžići, who remain vulnerable after this loss, while Sarajevo's strong showing reaffirms their status as a formidable opponent in both cup and league competitions. Moving forward, FK Sarajevo must carry this momentum into their league campaign, aiming to ascend the standings as they vie for a championship spot. Meanwhile, Radnik must regroup and refocus if they hope to challenge for greater success in the league, where they have been hovering near the bottom half.
