Heat Rises
After finishing 2nd in the league after an excellent season, NK Umjetno had one last chance to be promoted. The play-in against Newpark FC was one for the ages. After losing playmaking midfielder Arlind Sokoli to a red card early in the 2nd half, the team saw the opposition score at the 73' to go up 1-0. Down a man and playing against a 5-4-1 formation and a team who was slowing everything down to a crawl, it didn't look good. But somehow a laser at the 76' from Ibon Azpillaga on a set piece found the back of the net and the match was tied! Looking destined for extra time and ultimately a shoot out, there was one last good opportunity left. A corner in the 89' found the right leg of Ronald Miletic who somehow deposited the ball into the back of the net and gave NK Umjetno an improbable comeback victory, 2-1. This has certainly been a season to remember and it all came down to the last minute...as it should.
