 Players of Partizan celebrate victory over Red Star |
Red Star dominated the first half but Partizan fought back strongly after the break and importantly they took their chance when it came in the 65th minute. Sasa Ilic took advantage of a mistake by namesake Dejan Ilic and blasted the ball into the far corner.
Red Star top scorer, Mihajlo Pjanovic missed a number of opportunities. He got away twice early on but he shot narrowly wide from Milenko Acimovic's cross minutes after letting Partizan goalkeeper Radovan Radakovic close him down.
Goran Drulic also had chances, but Nisa Saveljic largely kept him quiet.

The team that had more luck won and I congratulate them" (Slavoljub Muslin, Red Star coach). "I don't remember how I received the ball. I first looked and saw Ilijev was free.
