Teleoptik and Borac Čačak met in the tenth round of the First League on Sunday, with the visitors claiming a 2-1 victory at the home ground. The result leaves Borac Čačak at the summit of the table with 24 points from ten matches, while Teleoptik remain rooted in sixteenth place with just seven points.
M. Jevtovic opened the scoring at the 34th minute, giving the hosts an early edge. They paid for a sloppy opening defence, but by the time the half ended, D. Jovanovic had levelled for Borac Čačak with a goal in the 45th minute. The visitors were already showing signs of their quality, though Teleoptik held their shape.
Teleoptik returned with purpose and took the lead again at the 72nd minute when Jevtovic struck his second. That was when the match turned, and suddenly the hosts were pushing hard for a winner. Borac Čačak made changes at the 68th minute, bringing on I. Yusuf, but the visitors saw the game out despite the late pressure.
And here's the thing — Teleoptik had the momentum, but they could not find the decisive moment. They created chances, they pushed forward, but Borac Čačak's defence held firm when it mattered. By then, the visitors had already taken their foot off the pedal and let the tie slip away.
Both sides registered five shots on target, but the difference lay elsewhere. Borac Čačak won eight corners to Teleoptik's two, and they generated 119 attacks against 107. The hosts dominated possession at 51 per cent, yet they could not convert that control into a result.
The defeat extends Teleoptik's winless run to five matches, while Borac Čačak maintain their unbeaten streak. The gap between them in the table now stands at 17 points, and the visitors cannot afford another slip.
