Grafičar beat OFK Bor 1919 3-0 in the first league on Thursday. The hosts took all three points in regular season round 9 when the whistle blew at 14:00. It was a clean sheet and a comfortable margin for the side sitting 16th in the table.
D. Lazic opened the scoring in the fourth minute, early enough to settle nerves. O. Matanovic doubled the advantage shortly after the hour mark, and V. Subotić added a late third to seal the result. Three goals, one conceded zero — by then the game was already beyond doubt.
There were five yellow cards on the night, mostly in the second half. P. Golubović went into the book early in the 49th minute, then J. Miladinović and D. Anokić both picked up cautions at 60. D. Dubačić and B. Varga rounded off the tally later on. Not a dramatic display, but enough to keep things honest.
Substitutions came in waves. S. Denic and N. Marinkovic were off together at 55, followed by C. Ikenna, N. Furtula and D. Anokić at 67. U. Djordjevic and I. Matejevic made way at 75, while S. Hajdin replaced O. Matanovic at 84. The coach was looking for freshness, or perhaps just to see what was left.
Grafičar remain 16th with four points from eight games. One win, one draw, six losses — not a great start, but they finally gave something away. OFK Bor 1919 move up to 12th with eight points, two wins and two draws on their ledger. The gap between them is now four points, and for once the visitors have something to build on.
