AI SummaryBorac Čačak 3–0 Grafičar: Mijić, Đurić and Ilić Pejović strike as Borac close pre-season with dominant win
Borac Čačak closed their pre-season preparations in emphatic fashion on Saturday, beating RFK Grafičar 3–0 in their final friendly before the 2026/27 Serbian First League campaign. Goals from Mijić (14'), Đurić (36') and Veljko Ilić Pejović (63') secured a dominant victory built on a two-goal half-time lead.
How It Unfolded
Borac took the lead in the 14th minute when Mijić found the net, setting the tone for a first half they controlled throughout. Đurić doubled the advantage in the 36th minute, sending Borac into the interval with a comfortable 2–0 cushion.
The second half followed a similar pattern. Ilić Pejović — who joined Borac on loan from Grafičar on 23 July — scored Borac's third in the 63rd minute, his first goal since arriving in Čačak. Grafičar, the reserve team of Red Star Belgrade, could not find a response. No cards were recorded across the 90 minutes.
The Turning Point
Đurić's 36th-minute goal, arriving just before half-time, effectively ended the contest as a competitive fixture. It gave Borac a two-goal lead at the break and allowed the coaching staff to rotate personnel and manage minutes in the second half without pressure on the result.

Verdict

Grafičar offered little in attack and will need sharper performances before the league campaign begins.
