Match Analysis

AI Summary

How it unfolded

Manager Feđa Dudić used the fixture — the first of Radnicki's summer friendly programme — to test a large squad, rotating all 11 outfield players at half-time and fielding 24 men across the 90 minutes in sweltering conditions (source: FK Radnicki 1923 official website).

Radnicki struck first in the 8th minute. New signing Nemanja Miletić delivered a precise free kick into the box, and forward Ester Sokler rose highest to head past Borac goalkeeper Stanić for 1-0.

The second goal followed in the 23rd minute. A goalmouth scramble in the Borac box ended with centre-back Nikola Marjanović smashing home from five metres, giving Stanić no chance.

Borac's best moment came before the break when they hit the crossbar, but they failed to register a serious shot on target across the 90 minutes. Luka Lijeskić played the first half in goal for Radnicki; Miloš Mladenović replaced him after the interval.

The turning point

Marjanović's second goal inside 23 minutes effectively ended the contest as a competitive affair. From that point Radnicki dictated possession and tempo almost exclusively in the opposition half, creating a string of chances that a sharper finishing touch might have turned into a more emphatic scoreline.

Key performers

  • Ester Sokler — opened the scoring with a well-timed header from Miletić's set-piece delivery; led the line effectively in the first half.
  • Nikola Marjanović — the centre-back scored the decisive second goal and helped keep a clean sheet alongside a largely second-string defence in the second half.
  • Nemanja Miletić — the new arrival's dead-ball quality produced the opener, and he was a lively presence at left-back before being substituted at half-time.

By the numbers — interpreted

The page's head-to-head data shows Radnicki have now won three of four meetings with Borac dating back to 2018, with 75% of those fixtures going over 2.5 goals. This match stayed under that line only because Radnicki's second-half pressure — featuring seven fresh outfielders — lacked the final pass. The 2-0 half-time scoreline was also the final score, suggesting Dudić will use the video to highlight the need for greater precision in the final third as preparations continue.

What it means

Radnicki 1923 are building toward the 2026-27 Mozzart Bet SuperLiga season. After two more training sessions in Kragujevac, the squad will relocate to Zlatibor on Tuesday for the main pre-season camp, where further friendlies are scheduled. Borac Cacak, who compete in the Prva Liga Srbije, used the match to build fitness ahead of their own campaign.

Verdict

A routine, professionally handled friendly win for Radnicki. The scoreline could have been wider, but the primary objective — fitness minutes for a large squad and a clean sheet — was achieved. Dudić will want more ruthlessness in the final third before the SuperLiga kicks off.
