Grafičar 1-0 OFK Vršac: Bijelović's 85th-minute winner settles tight pre-season affair

Grafičar edged out OFK Vršac 1-0 in a pre-season friendly on 18 July 2026, with L. Bijelović scoring an 85th-minute winner to decide a contest between two Serbian second-tier sides preparing for the 2026/27 Prva Liga campaign.

How it unfolded

The match was played at 09:00 UTC (11:00 local time) and remained goalless through the first half. Neither side recorded a goal before the break, with both defences largely on top in a contest that reflected the early stages of pre-season preparation.

The deadlock was broken only in the 85th minute when Bijelović found the net for Grafičar, securing the win. No further goals followed, and the match finished 1-0.

The turning point

Bijelović's 85th-minute strike — the only goal of the game — was the decisive moment. With the match heading towards a stalemate, his finish separated the sides and gave Grafičar a narrow victory.

Key performers

  • L. Bijelović (Grafičar): The match-winner. His 85th-minute goal was the difference between the sides, and the only shot that beat either goalkeeper across the 90 minutes.

By the numbers — interpreted

The fixture page records just one event — Bijelović's goal — and no cards. The goalless first half and single goal in the final five minutes suggest a tight, cautious contest typical of pre-season, where both sides prioritised defensive shape over attacking intensity. The 1-0 scoreline is consistent with the pattern of H2H meetings between these two sides, which average 2.33 goals per game across nine matches — but 67% of those meetings have produced under 2.5 goals.

What it means

Both Grafičar and OFK Vršac are preparing for the 2026/27 Serbian Prva Liga (Second Tier) season. The match was a pre-season friendly (Club Friendly) and carries no points. Grafičar's next reported fixture is against FK Borac 1926 Čačak on 25 July 2026, according to club schedules. OFK Vršac will continue their pre-season programme ahead of the new league campaign. The rivalry between the two clubs dates back to 2022, with Grafičar now holding four wins to OFK Vršac's two from nine meetings, with three draws.

Verdict

A functional pre-season win for Grafičar, settled by a late goal. Bijelović's 85th-minute strike was the only moment of quality in an otherwise cagey friendly. Neither side will read much into the result beyond fitness and sharpness, but Grafičar will take confidence from holding their H2H lead over Vršac.
