Borac Cacak secured a hard-fought 2-1 away victory over Teleoptik in the Serbian Mozzart Bet Prva Liga on 20 September 2026, with a late goal from Nikola Milošević settling a tense encounter at the SC Teleoptik in Zemun.
Match Overview
Borac Cacak arrived with a clear plan: absorb pressure and strike on the counter. That approach paid off in the 23rd minute when Petar Stojanović drifted into the box unmarked and converted a low cross from the right. Teleoptik responded well, dominating possession for the remainder of the first half without finding a breakthrough. Their persistence was rewarded six minutes after the restart when Marko Ilić fired home from the edge of the area after a neat lay-off.
At 1-1, the game opened up. Both sides had chances, but it was Borac who found the decisive moment in the 78th minute. A deep free-kick was only half-cleared, and Nikola Milošević pounced to volley the ball into the bottom corner. Teleoptik pushed for an equaliser in the closing stages, but Borac’s defence held firm, securing three valuable points on the road.

Tactical Story
Teleoptik lined up in a 4-3-3 and looked to control the midfield through quick, short passing. They enjoyed nearly 60% possession but struggled to break down a compact Borac back four. Borac, meanwhile, sat in a disciplined 4-2-3-1 and looked to spring forward through Stojanović and Milošević. The visitors’ willingness to press in the middle third forced turnovers and created the set-piece opportunity that led to the winner. Teleoptik’s full-backs pushed high in search of an equaliser, but that left them exposed to Borac’s late counters.
Standout Players
Nikola Milošević was the match-winner, capping a tireless performance with a well-taken goal. Petar Stojanović also impressed with his movement and link-up play. For Teleoptik, Marko Ilić was the brightest spark, driving forward from midfield and scoring a fine goal. Goalkeeper Lazar Jovanović kept Teleoptik in the game with two smart saves in the first half, but he could do little about the winner.
What the Result Means
The win moves Borac Cacak into the promotion conversation, keeping them in touch with the early pacesetters in the Serbian Mozzart Bet Prva Liga. For Teleoptik, it is a missed opportunity to climb the table, though their performance showed enough promise to suggest they will be competitive this season. Borac’s ability to grind out away wins could prove crucial in the race for the top flight.
