This point was enough for the BiH champion to write new pages in the history of Bosnian football, as they became the first team to secure a European spring, writes Faktor.ba.

Borac will play in the play-off for a place in the round of 16 of the Conference League.

In the first half, we watched a lullaby. Both teams had their moments, but without major excitement. The only more dangerous chance was recorded in front of the Cypriot goal, when Ogrinec shot from an angle on the right side past the goal.

At the very start of the second half, Borac could have taken the lead. First, Vukčević failed to capitalise on a mistake by the visiting goalkeeper who gifted him the ball, but the Montenegrin hit the goalkeeper.

Shortly after, Kulašin also had a great chance, but from the top of the penalty area he missed an empty goal.

In the 78th minute, Borac had a lot of luck. Semedo hit the post, and Kakoullis fired the rebound over the goal.

The score did not change until the end, which meant the start of a big celebration in Banja Luka.
