Apr 20, 2024

1′ – The match has started!

The match was delayed several minutes due to smoke and flares.

2′ – Immediate chance for Partizan!
Already in the second minute, Samed Bađdar had a great chance from ten meters, he shot beautifully, but Glazer did a great job and saved his team’s net.

5′ – Hwang!
Endiaje tried first, now Hwang had an even better chance after the action passed from the left. He got a return Hwang and shot it, but it wasn’t accurate enough.

9′ – BUKARI!
What a breakthrough… Bukari went past four Partizan players, bounced off Marković and Ovusu, and managed to shoot, but the ball went only a few centimeters past the post.

11′ – GOOOL! BAZDAR! 0:1!
Partizan led from the 11th minute with a goal by Samed Baždar after a superb breakthrough by Arandjelo Stojković. He passed on the right side and “turned” to the second post where Srđan Mijailović was powerless, and the best player of Partizan this spring scores a goal in the derby! He celebrated like Aleksandar Mitrović who is in the stands…

15′ – Penalty for Zvezda!
Kovačević lost the ball, Ivanić got to it, and Krunic was late and fouled a Zvezda player. The referee pointed to the white spot!

16′ – GOAL! 1:1! KANGA!
Gelor Kanga scores from the penalty spot and the score is tied. Krunic hit the side, but it was too strong a shot.

22′ – Sheriff!
A good opportunity for Zvezda, sent by Bukari from the right side, but it bounced a little and was therefore not ideal for the Zvezda striker. He shot over the goal.

28′ – GOH!
A serious counter by Partizan after a mistake by Šerif and Stamenić, was flashed by a transition in which Goh came in from the right side and managed to send a shot past the again poor Mijailović. Hits the post!

30′ – Ivanić!
Mirko Ivanić passed Aranđel Stojković and shot into the near corner of Krunić, but it still went just wide of the post. Perhaps Ivanić’s best match since Milojević’s arrival in Zvezda.

37′ – BUKARI!
The football player from Ghana wants a goal at all costs, now he came to the ball out of his position, positioned himself on the right, shot long and was still a little inaccurate. It goes close to the post of Krunic’s goal…

41′ – First card!
Owusu received a yellow card, and in the meantime, Zvezda had a chance through Bukari and Sherif, but it was all “erased” because it was offside.

45′ – Kanga!
He tried the luck of Kang from 30 meters, the ball bounced, but it did not deceive Krunić. One more minute of stoppage time will be played.

45+1′ – Bukari!
It flashed against Zvezda through Bukari, he came out in front of Krunić, but he shot straight at the Partizan goalkeeper. Partizan saved itself in the last moments of the first half!

46′ – Change in Zvezda!
Naser Điga enters the game instead of Milan Rodić, we will see how it will affect the appearance of the red and whites in the sequel.

47′ – Break!
The second half had just started, the interruption due to the torch.

55′ – Slower tempo
It seems that the game did not continue at the same pace we went to the break, maybe the fans who “killed the momentum” with torches and smoke contributed to this.

56′ – GOAL! 2:1 FOR PARTISAN!
A wonderful attack by Partizan and a goal by Severina, and what a one! The defense of Zvezda broke again on the right side, Goh passed behind Mijailović, and it was as if the rest of the red and white players did not believe that Partizan could make something serious out of that attack. The ball reached Zahid via Antic, and then Severin fantastically placed it into the far corner of Glazer.

58′ – Kanga leaves the game And in this derby, Kanga was a weak point, especially in transition, so the more offensive Katai entered the field. Hwang and Stamenić should now play in the “eight” places.

60′ – Chance! A great opportunity for Zvezda through Endiaj, the attack went well through Stamenić, Endiaj tried with a five-meter header, but Krunic defends. In the continuation, Castillo prevented another danger.

62′ – Injury
Krunic, when kicking the ball out of his penalty area, hit Castillo hard. He remained lying on the grass and medical intervention was immediately requested.

67′ – Changes in Partizan
Stjepanović and Saldanja enter the game, while Castillo and Baždar leave the game.

68′ – Chance!
He started Severin on the counter, managed to deceive Mijailović and play for Zahid, but the double pass was not of sufficient quality and Partizan was left without a chance to complete a good attack.

69′ – GOAL! 2:2! KATAI!
Red Star scored after a big crowd in the penalty area, Aleksandar Katai was the savior again.

72′ – Canceled Zvezda goal!
Endiaje was offside after Ivanić’s cross, that’s why Katai’s goal in overtime doesn’t count.

80′ – More changes!
Filipović and Kalulu entered the game at Partizan, while Stojković and Goh left. On the other hand, Olajinka replaces Ivanić.

82′ – New yellow
Kovačević hit Mijailović with his elbow during a jump in Zvezda’s penalty area, so he was entered in Pavel Ilić’s notebook.

85′ – What a chance!
Krunic saved Partizan! A great shot by Hwang from 15 meters was saved by the goalkeeper of Partizan, and then in the continuation, Sherif shoots wide. It’s amazing what he didn’t convert into a goal.

89′ – More changes!
Severina left, and Natho is on the field instead.

89′ – GOAL! 2:2! SHERIFF!
A nice ball into the area for Sherif, who came out in front of Krunić and “lobbed” the Partizan goalkeeper. Nice goal, but now black and white are protesting that Sherif fouled Marković. Turmoil in the stadium, Kalulu got a yellow card for a challenge and it looks like that won’t be the end as referee Ilić talks to a few more players.

90′ – 15 more minutes!
Big compensation at the “Maracana” due to interruptions caused by the fans. The goal was checked in the VAR room and confirmed.

90+5′ – Chance!
Katai attempted a header from seven meters, Krunic saved, but a foul was still shown.

90+6′ – PENALTY! Bukari fell after Antic’s start in the penalty area, and after a few moments and consultation with the assistant referee, referee Ilić points to the “white spot”. Svetozar Marković received a yellow card, and the home team complains that the contact was outside the penalty area.

90+9′ – GOOOL! KATAI! 3:2!
Red Star’s turnaround in the 173rd “eternal” derby, Aleksandar Katai scored from the “white spot”.

90+10′ – Changes!
Kraso and Milunović enter the game, and Endiaje and Bukari exit. Kraso gets a card in the first ten seconds after entering the field.

90+15′ – The last minute of stoppage time has begun There is no doubt that the referee will make up some more time, as there were interruptions even after the 90th minute.

THE END!
Crvena zvezda beat Partizan 3:2 (1:1) and now has an advantage of ten points with six rounds to go, which means that the title is almost certainly in their hands. It was played for 110 minutes at Maracana.
