- Round 1
FK Sloga vs. FK Velež
In the 55', the referee correctly awarded a foul for the visiting team and showed a yellow card to the home player no. 55. However, after VAR intervention and an OFR review, the referee correctly overturned the initial decision: he canceled the yellow card and sent off player no. 55 for a reckless challenge that posed a serious injury risk to the opponent.
FK Željezničar vs. FK Radnik
In the 69', the referee, who was positioned at an optimal distance from the incident, assessed that there were no elements of a foul by the visiting player no. 77 on the home player no. 10 inside the penalty area and allowed play to continue. However, after the first subsequent stoppage, VAR intervened and OFR led to a change in decision: the referee awarded a penalty to the home team and issued a yellow card to visiting player no. 77 for illegal use of the arm to the opponent’s head.
- Round 2
FK Sarajevo vs. FK Radnik
In the 83', the assistant referee tracks the line of the second-last defender of the home team well, but in a situation that was difficult to assess, incorrectly signaled offside, thereby disallowing the visitors' goal. Although the VAR protocol was correctly applied, the assistant failed to follow the recommendation: “if unsure about offside – don’t signal” which resulted in an error. After VAR review, the goal was correctly awarded.
FK Rudar vs. NK Široki Brijeg
In the 71', the assistant referee, although well positioned in line with the second-last defender of the home team, incorrectly signaled offside, disallowing the goal for the visiting team. In this case too, the VAR protocol was applied correctly, but the recommendation “if unsure about offside – don’t signal” wasn’t followed, which constitutes an error. After the VAR check, the goal was correctly awarded.
FK Velež vs. FK Borac
In the 28', the referee awarded a direct free-kick to the visiting team due to a foul committed by home player no. 28, but without issuing any disciplinary sanction. Although well positioned, the referee failed to recognize the serious foul: stamping on the unprotected part of the opponent’s lower leg. The VAR room intervened and quickly assessed the situation but concluded there was no basis for disciplinary action. Still, the referee, VAR, and AVAR officials failed to issue the appropriate disciplinary sanction to player no. 28 for a reckless challenge with a high risk of injury to the opponent.
