First Half: U18 FK Krajina Cazin vs. NK Rudar Kamengrad

The first half showed limited concrete attempts on goal, with numerous stoppages, corners, and yellow cards disrupting the flow of the game. It seemed likely that both teams would head into halftime with a stalemate, as neither side was able to gain a clear advantage.

The second half heated up dramatically towards the end. In the 63rd minute, a player from Krajina inadvertently scored an own goal, putting Rudar ahead with a score of 0-1. Shortly after, in the 79th minute, Rudar extended their lead to 0-2 with a well-executed team play.

The match concluded with a final score of 0-2.

Overall Impressions

Both teams appeared fatigued, likely due to their participation in cup matches for their senior teams earlier in the week. Notably, 4-5 players from NK Rudar had featured in a cup match for their senior squad in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Despite the tired legs, both sides showed resilience and determination throughout the game.

I thoroughly enjoyed spending the day on another scouting mission and am looking forward to the next one next week.
