Analysis The numbers behind the result
Levski Sofia dominate possession and shots in deserved rout
Levski Sofia's 4-0 victory was a fair reflection of their dominance, with the Bulgarian side registering 12 shots to Borac Banja Luka's 4, and 61% possession underlining their control. Crucially, 8 of those shots were off target, suggesting profligacy could have reduced the margin, but 4 on target yielded maximum efficiency — notably Reinaldo Nascimento Satorno's brace (48', 65') and Armstrong Oko-Flex's opener (44'). Borac failed to land a single shot on target, their 39% possession yielding just 4 off-target attempts.
The hosts' superior chance creation is evidenced by their 7 corners to Banja Luka's 2, with Álex Centelles and Francisco Everton Mota de Castro providing assists during a ruthless 17-minute second-half spell where Levski scored three times. Banja Luka's three yellow cards (Saničanin 17', Herera 44', Vukovic 68') reflected their defensive struggles against sustained pressure. The decisive stat: Levski's 4 goals from 4 shots on target versus Banja Luka's 0 shots on target — a clinical disparity that defined the tie.
