Zagora beat Bratstvo Yurovets 4:2 in the Round of 64 of the Cup on 26 August. The match finished with Zagora going through, while Bratstvo Yurovets were knocked out. And here's the thing — the scoreline doesn't tell the whole story of how it unfolded.
Bratstvo Yurovets took the lead through J. Tikvic in the 19th minute. Zagora responded quickly, with F. Budic finding the net in the 15th minute before the visitors' strike. By then Zagora had taken control, E. Hozjan adding a second in the 34th minute.
J. Bralic put Zagora ahead for the first time in the 42nd minute, and he doubled his tally in the 75th. To be fair, Bratstvo Yurovets weren't done yet — V. Cvetkovic pulled one back in the 78th minute, but it wasn't enough to change the outcome.
Zagora's form has been uneven of late. They lost 3:5 to Koprivnica on 22 August, though they had beaten Šibenik 2:1 in August 2025. The defeat to Koprivnica was their last outing before this cup tie.
Zagora advance to the next round. The win means they stay in the competition, while Bratstvo Yurovets are out after the Round of 64.
