Warming up before match
The first action could be seen in the 4th minute, until then there was only some passing-the-ball-here-and-there on the field. Partizan got a free kick, the goalkeeper touched Drinčić’s shot, corner.
In the 8th minute Radnički got a free kick, facing right the goal line, maybe about 2 metres from the penalty area line. The weather was bright and sunny in Kragujevac on this Sunday afternoon, so sunny that it was shining right into Lukač’s eyes. Not for Perović, but he still shot way too high, the ball left the field far above the goalpost.
Two minutes later penalty for Partizan! Vulićević ran up fast on the right side, at the penalty area he got Poljanec on his back. They kept on pushing each other so hard that finally the Partizan-player fell onto the grass. The referee pointed immediately at the penalty point and showed the yellow card to the heavily complaining Poljanec. Škuletić stood behind the ball. He run, kicked...
...and 0:1.
Some time around the 14th minute the home team had a weak try, but it was so weak even ArenaSport didn’t bother to replay in slow motion.
Then Partizan scored again.
In the 18th minute Pantić came up on the left side and with a great pace he jumped over the defender that had the intention to tackle him in a rough manner. The ball got to Živković who passed it to Grbić with a fantastic "oxford" movement...
...Grbić dribbled among the defenders inside the penalty area, then Škuletić got the ball and didn’t hesitate for a moment. He shot and scored. 0:2
Poljanec had a shot from far in the 24th minute, the ball flew out of the field, goal-kick. Three minutes later Perović tried another distant kick, even this one didn’t mean any headache for Lukač.
Then the only interesting events were a Radnički-corner and a yellow card. The pace was slower than medium, the game was going on mostly on the midfield, none of the teams had too many chances to attack. Then in the 42nd minute Branko Ilić made a distant shot, goalkeeper Trifunović made a "flying approach" to save. It was followed by a counter-attack by the home team, but the distant shot avoided Lukač’s place.
Around the end of the half Radnički started to build up attacks, but they were all blocked by Partizan-defenders. Lukač kept on doing a great job as well, if it was needed. (Otherwise he could have even had some sunbath.)
The second half started with a great chance. Škuletić got the ball from Grbić, Radnički’s goalkeeper had a huge save. In the 51st minute again Škuletić had a chance after a Grbić-Živković teamwork, Trifunović had a great moment again.
In the next minute Drinčić fell on the grass with a painful grimace after a clash, and he seemingly had huge pain, well, in his bottom.
Until the 57th minute there was only a free kick for Radnički and Živković was kicked to the ground. Then the home team got another free kick, Lukač saved.

Radnički kept on trying more and more, or rather Partizan let the opponent come up and they made a "bunker" around their penalty area. In the 61st minute Perović had a shot from the distance, but it flew out near the goalpost. In the 64th minute Lukač checkmated another try.
Then the substitutes brought the only excitement, finally, in the 76th minute Stanković headed Živković’s pass too high. In the 82nd minute entered Ivan Petrović, debuting at his first ever match wearing Partizan’s jersey.
The home team tried again in the 86th minute. The shot came from the right side in a very sharp angle, but flew away to the left side of the goal area.
Then in the 89th minute an upheaval stirred up inside Radnički’s penalty area. Finally Saša Ilić emerged from the chaos and shot the ball into the net. 0:3
And happiness :)
