CONCLUSION

The 3-3 draw in the second leg produced a balanced outcome between Petrocub and Borac Banja Luka despite contrasting first-half and second-half performances. Petrocub established early control with a 2-0 halftime advantage yet could not maintain the lead against the visitors' adjustments. Borac Banja Luka demonstrated the qualities expected of the stronger team by mounting a comeback without the aid of numerical advantages. Possession statistics highlighted Borac's greater control while the absence of dismissals kept the contest even in terms of personnel. This result carries forward implications for the tie aggregate and sets the stage for further assessment of both sides' progression prospects in the competition.
