Borac, the current champion of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is celebrating a historic achievement. The club from Banjaluka has secured its first-ever European autumn by advancing to the final round of Europa League qualifiers, guaranteeing at least a spot in the group stage of the Conference League. Borac’s epic battle was against Klaksvik, a club from the Faroe Islands, which Olimpija got to know closely last season. The Northern team won the first leg 2-1, and in the second leg, they held onto their lead until the 82nd minute, when a familiar face to Slovenian fans made an appearance.
In the 82nd minute, Stefan Savić, a former member of Ljubljana’s Olimpija, scored to force extra time. He then contributed with an assist in the 92nd minute, allowing Borac to score their third goal of the match. They held onto their lead until the end and celebrated advancing to the final round of Europa League qualifiers, where they will face Ferencvaros.
Stefan Savić was not the only familiar face from the Prva Liga Telemach to appear in the dramatic match. In the 90th minute, Aleks Pihler, a former long-time player for Maribor, also came on from the bench, contributing to Borac’s historic achievement.
