¹ All teams are from Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the first league tier.
² The game on Gradski stadion in Banja Luka was stopped in the 65-minute by result 0–1 for Željezničar when one of the assistant referees was hit by a solid object in the head. While medical care was given to the referee, the delegate first decided to empty the east stand, the stand where Lešinars (the ultras fans of Borac) are, where the object came from, but not long after, realizing the tension, because, as they say, "weird" actions by the main referee, while the east stand was emptying out, the delegate aborted the match.^[31][32] The disciplinary and contest commission decided to award Željezničar a 0–3 win^[33] and to punish Borac with a €5,000 fine and the next six home matches without spectators.^[34]
