Egnatia suffered a humiliating defeat in their opening Champions League match as they lost out to Borac Banja Luka in a Bosnian switch-out. But between the anti-Albanian tensions and two red cards for Rogozna players, it was a very strange defeat.

From the beginning, local fans chanted “Kosovo is the heart of Serbia” and did not let go of the nationalist voices. But on the field, Egnatia did not feel this pressure and was thinking about how to keep his goal.
The situation intensified in the second half, especially when Zeinulein was sent off for a foul after the referee saw the images through VAR. Local fans began to chant anti-Albanian slogans in the stadium, causing the game to be interrupted. The game resumed after 10 minutes, but an “ultimatum” was issued to abandon the game.
Egnatia fought hard and seemed to succeed. But in the extra time of the match, a mistake gave the locals an advantageous goal, and they also worked hard to score the second goal. Then Ndreka was sent off with the second red card of the game, which led to a difficult end for Rogozhina, but the result still left the possibility of qualification.
