Key Moments

The chance data showed where the match was won. Borac Banja Luka recorded 2.14 expected goals against 0.64 for Kuopio PS, a gap that sits behind a two-goal home score rather than a night of even chances.

Corners stretched the same imbalance. The hosts won 10 corners to 2, which meant repeated deliveries Kuopio PS could not match. That extra stream of restarts kept the visitors defending and limited their own attacking platforms.

The bookings never became a sending-off. Juricic's yellow came early enough to demand care, and Herrera's arrived late, while the stoppage-time caution for Kuopio PS did not reduce either side to ten men. Both teams finished with a full complement, and the away side still left without a goal.
