Or exciting. Or even entertaining really, but Osijek managed to scrounge up a in Andorra this afternoon. Osijek will be pleased with the two-goal win in the first round of Europa League qualifying. Their opponents, Santa Colomo will now have to travel to the Garden City next week and come back from what may be an insurmountable deficit.
The match started with a heavy offensive line up for Osijek, featuring Gabrijel Boban , Muzafer Ejupi , and newcomer and former Lokomotiva top-goalscorer, Eros Grezda.
Despite the three-man offense, no offense was generated. Passes went incomplete, missed, or just plain given away. Fouls were drawn with more fervor than goal scoring, and the general pace of the match lacked. The second half sped up with a slight increase, but in the wrong direction. Santa Coloma had several attempts nearly on target, but were only just good enough to get the few in attendance to wake u from their evening siesta. Fortunately, it seemed like a beautiful day outside for those devout fans at the grounds.
The initial shot rang off the woodwork. It was Benedik Mioc who put in the rebound of the errant shot. Osijek doubled the lead with a scrappy goal won by defender Andrej Lukic , who got his foot on a corner kick, but was saved by the goalkeeper.
He headed in his own rebound for the second goal of the match in the 90th minute. Despite its dismal quality, Osijek are sitting pretty with hops of reaching the second round of the qualifiers. You should have asked who are you calling the weirdo, quite simple really. Who said I was even calling you the wierdo hmmmmm? There were multiple people in that convo.
