International Club Friendly
July 27, 2026 | 00:30 local time

Bratstvo Gracanica edged out Bosnian second‑tier rivals NK TOSK Tesanj 1–0 in a tightly contested pre‑season friendly staged under the lights. The only goal of the night came in the first half, allowing the home side to test new tactical patterns while giving valuable minutes to fringe players ahead of the upcoming First League of FBiH campaign.

Pre‑Season Context

Both clubs are deep into their summer preparation schedules. Bratstvo, who finished mid‑table last season, are using these friendlies to integrate several young academy graduates. TOSK Tesanj, meanwhile, are rebuilding after a disappointing relegation battle, and this fixture offered a chance to assess squad depth. The match was played in a competitive but fair spirit, with both coaching staffs making multiple substitutions throughout the second period.

Match Action

The decisive moment arrived in the 28th minute. Bratstvo’s right winger Adnan Karić received the ball on the flank, cut inside past two defenders, and unleashed a low drive that deflected off a TOSK defender and wrong‑footed goalkeeper Amir Džidić. The goal was credited to Karić – his first of the pre‑season.

TOSK Tesanj responded positively, holding 55% possession after the break, but they lacked a cutting edge in the final third. Their best chance came in the 67th minute when substitute striker Haris Mujić forced a sharp save from Bratstvo keeper Emir Hadžić with a header from a corner. Hadžić, a summer signing from NK Čelik Zenica, impressed with his commanding presence and clean handling.

Tactical Observations

• Bratstvo: Started with a 4‑2‑3‑1, pressing aggressively in the first 30 minutes before dropping to a compact 4‑4‑2 in the second half.
• TOSK Tesanj: Used a fluid 3‑5‑2, trying to overload the midfield, but their wide players failed to deliver quality crosses.
• Substitutions: Each side used 10 substitutes, disrupting rhythm but allowing evaluation of entire squads.

Standout Players

• Adnan Karić (Bratstvo): Scored the winner and showed excellent dribbling ability – a key player to watch this season.
• Emir Hadžić (Bratstvo): The new goalkeeper kept a clean sheet and commanded his area well.
• Haris Mujić (TOSK): Lively after coming on, his header was the closest TOSK came to an equaliser.

Looking Ahead

Bratstvo Gracanica travel to face NK Zvijezda Gradačac in their next friendly, while TOSK Tesanj host FK Rudar Kakanj. Both clubs will be pleased with the physical intensity and the opportunity to fine‑tune their systems before the competitive season begins in mid‑August.
