The Banja Luka team already held a two-goal advantage after the first half. Sebastian Herrera broke down the left side in the 21’ and sent the ball into the opposition penalty area for Luka Juričić, who reacted sharply and scored. Just two minutes later, Juričić made an assistance, with Miloš Jojić doubling Borac’s lead.

Gylfi Sigurdsson scored for the home team from the penalty spot in the 75’. Juričić scored his second goal of the match in the 86’ following an assist from Pavle Đajić, meaning our representative will take a two-goal advantage into the return leg at home, where it will seek a spot in the league phase of the competition.

Borac lineup: Mladen Jurkas, Nemanja Jakšić, Jurich Carolina, Bart Meijers, Sebastian Herrera, Esiti Anderson, Amer Hiroš (83. Matej Deket), Miloš Jojić, Damir Hrelja (74. Ante Roguljić), Luka Juričić (90+1. Siniša Saničanin), Stefan Savić (83. Pavle Đajić).

The return leg is scheduled for August 27 at 20:30 at City Stadium in Banja Luka.
