Kutak za sporni trenutak / Corner for the spare moment

Batan is the goalkeeper of the “Zanatlije” football club, competing in the lowest-level town league in BiH and holds the one-before-last place. Their opponent in the game is “Poriječani”, which holds the top position and has the ambition to move to the ext league, which would be secured with a victory over “Zanatlije”. The atmosphere is blazing hot and any sily move on the field is eceived by the supporters as a life-or-death event. However, also he's been keeping the goal of his team for 25 years, Batan, the hero of this story, does'nt find the result of the game all that important. For him, the main value of the game is in meat roast, good wine, mad parties, and his own income, but only very little. “Unfortunately” for his team, he holds the outcome of the game in his hands.
