Match Report

Levski Sofia secured a commanding 4–0 victory over Borac Banja Luka in the UEFA Champions League first qualifying round, though the opening half remained goalless despite the Bulgarian side's clear dominance in possession and territory. A yellow card for Borac's Saničanin in the 17th minute hinted at the visitors' defensive struggles to come.

The second half told a very different story. Oko-Flex broke the deadlock three minutes after the restart, and Reinaldo then took centre stage, netting twice in quick succession in the 59th and 65th minutes to effectively end the contest. Perea added a fourth in the 85th minute to complete a thoroughly convincing scoreline. Levski's superiority was reflected throughout the statistics — 61% possession, seven corner kicks, and four shots on target compared to none for Borac.

The result was fully in line with pre-match expectations, with our AI model having identified a Levski win as the most likely outcome at 57%. Borac, who finished the match having managed just four total shots, will need significant improvement if they are to remain in European competition.
