Yavor Storm Past Teleoptik in Irregular Prva Liga Opener
Yavor saw off Teleoptik 5-1 in the first round of the Prva Liga on Saturday evening. The hosts built a commanding lead before the break and never looked back, though the final whistle carried an unexpected twist — a goal at the 90th minute that the data left unattributed. To be fair, the result spoke for itself regardless of who crossed the ball.
M. Mirosavljev opened the scoring in the fourth minute, and by then the visitors already knew they were chasing the game. A. Radonjic doubled the advantage just before the half-hour mark, and L. Radosavljevic added a third in the twenty-third minute. M. Mirosavljev completed his brace at 45+2, and here's the thing — R. Premovic had already been sent off for Teleoptik in the thirty-fifth minute after a second booking.
That dismissal changed the complexion of the match. B. Cande made it four in the seventy-eighth minute, and the visitors' substitutes came on in quick succession — I. Martinovic, D. Bacanovic, B. Acquah, D. Ristic — but the gap was too wide. The hosts pulled off a stunning save at one point, though the exact moment isn't recorded in the event log.
Yavor sit third in the table with fourteen points from seven games, four wins, two draws and one defeat. Teleoptik languish in thirteenth place with seven points from eight matches — one win, four draws, three losses. The Red Star side have not won since their last league meeting, but that's a different story.
Recent form suggests Yavor were building momentum. They drew 1-1 with Metalac GM twice, beat Semedria 1924 2-0, and edged Jedinstvo Ub 1-0. Teleoptik managed a 2-1 victory over BSK Banja Luka but lost 0-1 to Sloga Doboj in their most recent outing.
The final goal at 90 minutes came too late to change anything. Yavor's dominance was never in doubt after the red card, and the result puts them firmly on course for a strong season. Teleoptik have nothing to lose now — and everything to prove.
