The FFBiH Referees Committee has shared key refereeing decisions from the 21st round of the BiH Wwin League:
• FK Željezničar vs. FK Borac
o 39' – The referee awards a penalty to the away team, but the assistant referee correctly signals an offside position by the attacking player before the foul, in line with the VAR protocol. A correct VAR review confirms the offside, and play is properly resumed with an indirect free kick for the home team.
o 81' – FK Željezničar’s player No. 14 commits a reckless challenge. The referee correctly applies advantage for the away team and, after the attack concludes, issues a yellow card for the reckless tackle. Following a VAR intervention and an on-field review (OFR), the referee overturns the yellow card and instead sends off FK Željezničar’s No. 14.
• FK Igman vs. HŠK Zrinjski
o 17' – Home team's No. 33 commits a rough foul on an opponent, but the referee fails to recognize the severity of the foul during play. After a correct VAR intervention and OFR, FK Igman’s No. 33 is rightfully sent off for serious foul play.
• FK Sloga vs. FK Radnik
o 57' – Following a correct VAR intervention and OFR, the referee awards a penalty to the home team for a deliberate handball by a visiting player. Although the referee was in a good position, he couldn't spot the incident during live play.
• FK Velež vs. FK Sarajevo
o 44' – Away team’s player No. 11 is in a clear goal-scoring opportunity when he is fouled and stopped. The referee mistakenly shows a yellow card on the field. After a correct VAR intervention and OFR, the referee overturns the yellow card and sends off FK Velež’s No. 4 for denying an obvious scoring opportunity.
• NK Široki Brijeg vs. HŠK Posušje
o 69' – The referee correctly awards an indirect free kick to the away team for a dive by the home team’s player No. 21. A wrong VAR intervention suggests an OFR for a possible penalty kick, however a proper application of the VAR protocol confirms a foul by the home team’s player on an opponent in the attacking possession phase (APP), and play is correctly resumed with a direct free kick for the away team.
