May the lightning stroke those who thought it was a good idea to put Partizan’s football matches to ArenaSport 5. Not only it’s the worst, most obvious marketing tricks
to make fans subscribe for this channel, too, if they want to watch Partizan, because subscribing for ArenaSport 1 only is not enough
and this intention is especially ridiculous knowing the coverage (or rather, the lack of it) of ArenaSport in Serbia
but lacking technical preparations as well as the top of all. It was just like at the previous match. The broadcast collapsed before the starting whistle. The match has reached its 4th minute when it got back to life, but even then the timestamp showing the elapsed time was either visible or not.
When the broadcast finally healed, a Spartak-player was just sending a shot to our goal line. Živko Živković easily saved.
In the 7th minute we got a corner kick. Andrija Živković kicked, Aboubakar headed it, missing the goal only by millimetres. It ended in another corner kick, this time performed by Babović. Fabricio headed it, the defenders kicked it out, but the ball dropped to Bojinov, then to Lukić. Lukić shot from approx. 25 metres, the goalkeeper had a great save. Another corner kick, again by Babović. Bojinov got the ball, and he shot with a cheeky half-turn, scoring right into the net. 1:0

In the 14th minute Babović gave a great pass to Andrija Živković. Živković ran up with a huge solo, then fell on the ground inside the penalty area while wrestling with a defender. The referee did not whistle for penalty. Spartak immediately started a counter-attack. Stefan Ilić got the ball and shot. Živko Živković saved it with a great movement.
In the 21st minute Andrija Živković got the ball and passed it to Lukić in the middle. It was a great chance, but Lukić was swept away by defenders. Never mind, the ball got to Bojinov. The Bulgarian striker shot, but goalkeeper Janošević saved, probably with the best save of his life.
In the 23rd minute again Lukić shot from 20 metres, the goalkeeper caught it.
It was a great, exciting match with good pace, spectacular attacks and screaming/cardial arrest type goal attempts. In the 29th minute Milošević sent a distant shot to our goal line, but it was too wide.
At this point I had technical problems and they didn’t leave until the end of the first half. I try to reconstruct the events of the rest of the first half by reports and match highlights.
The match’s pace got slower a bit. The fans of the southern tribunes made a spectacular scene with torches.

In the 42nd minute Andrija Živković got the ball after a great action. The attack ended in a corner. A minute later again Andrija Živković ran up with the ball and passed it to Aboubakar. Aboubakar had an even greater solo than Žile then passed it to Bojinov. Bojinov shot, the ball hit the goalpost’s corner.
In the last minute of the first half again the Andrija Živković-Aboubakar axis put themselves into action. Finally Aboubakar was pushed to the ground by a defender inside the penalty area - the referee didn’t whistle again.
Substitutes started to warm up before the end of the first half. Nothing is further from me than disrespect - may God forgive me even the pretence - but this image is PRICELESS

In the second half, at the 47th minute Lukić kicked the ball from the left, but the goalkeeper caught it. A minute later we got a corner kick. Aboubakar headed it to the goal. It was too high, Aboubakar fell into the net.
In the 51st minute Lukić passed it with a fantastic movement into the middle to Bojinov. Bojinov wanted to grab it, but the entire Spartak defense line jumped on him, he was tackled. Spartak ran up for a counter-attack. Milošević passed it to Makarić in the middle, Živko Živković made a great save.
In the 55th minute Bojinov ran up in the middle. He passed it to Andrija Živković to the right. Žile dribbled, then shot. I hope, goalkeeper Janošević will get some kind of bonus after this match, because again he had a fantastic save. Spartak can thank mostly to him
also to the referee
that they didn’t get more goals from us.
Then came the 57th minute. Torbica ran up to our area, while wrestling with Fabricio. Then the Subotica team captain tripped, and like a ripened pear, fell into our penalty area.
Can you guess what happened next?
Yes. You’re right. Referee Piper whistled and pointed to the penalty mark.
ArenaSport’s slow motion replay clearly showed IT WAS NOT A PENALTY. Dear Mr. Referee, please, give back your referee pass right now. Afterwards you can go hoeing.
Torbica stood behind the ball. Whistle... and he scored, of course. 1:1
But Partizan would not be Partizan if they had collapsed at this point, spending the rest of the match on the ground just with alibi-football. We started to attack heavily. In the 63rd minute Lukić shot after a great solo, the goalkeeper pushed it to corner. The kick dropped to Babović, he sent it to Vulićević on the right. From him the ball dropped to Balažic. The defender headed it to the goal, the goalkeeper saved.

In the 65th minute Partizan had a fireworks-alike, very spectacular scene in Spartak’s goalmouth. Vulićević got the ball, he sent it to the other side. There arrived Andrija Živković and kicked it to the middle to Babović. Babović shot, but it was too high.
I swear I didn’t see it clearly. Did he really shoot this very high from 5 metres, or the goalkeeper saved it somehow, just the referee didn’t whistle for corner?
At this point Partizan put Spartak under heavy pressure. The Subotica team got stuck for a while around their penalty area. The second home goal was very much in the air.
In the 69th minute Andrija Živković kicked the ball to the middle. There Nemanja Petrović got it and sent a bomb shot from 10-12 metres. So pity it was too wide... Then Vulićević sent a fantastic pass to Andrija Živković in the right. Živković passed it to Saša Ilić in the middle, the Captain kicked it to Brašanac. Brašanac shot, the goalkeeper saved it to corner.
In the 74th minute Spartak could get out a bit to Partizan’s half. They got a corner, Partizan-defenders cleared it. They still possessed the ball, one of them made a distant shot. Živko Živković saved, we could run up for a counter-attack. Petrović passed to Andrija Živković. He shot, but it was too wide.
In the 78th minute substitute player Šaponjić got a fantastic pass from Saša Ilić. He shot, the ball hit the side net.
At this point hell started to break loose. Spartak-players were clearly playing for time. The fans were booing, finally the referee got fed up with the fumbling and gave a yellow card to Plavšić.
In the 85th minute Andrija Živković got the ball and passed it to Saša Ilić. The Captain passed it ahead to Trujić, but for Trujić it was too long. A minute later the unbreakable, nuclear-powered Andrija Živković passed the ball to the middle to Šaponjić. Šaponjić shot, but missed.
In the 90+2nd minute Vulićević passed the ball to the middle. All we could see was Trujić falling to the ground. Even the slow motion replay didn’t show too many details, only some wrestling. But, as you could guess, the referee didn’t whistle at all.
Partizan’s bench was totally upset. The camera showed Babović jumping up from his seat, yelling towards the referee. But referee Piper didn’t listen.
In the 90+4th minute, almost at the very end we got a corner kick. It was just a small shot, then Andrija Živković kicked it to the middle. It ended in another corner kick. The ball dropped to Saša Lukić. He wasted no time, shot and scored such a giant goal from 5 metres that the net tore to pieces. 2:1!!!!! This match is ours!!!!!
Right before the final whistle hell finally broke loose. Zoran Lončar, Partizan’s second trainer started to yell with the referee
and I’m sure he was right
and he was joined by the entire Partizan bench. The second trainer had to leave the ground. Fans were booing, yelling, cursing the referee and generally everyone. Finally, after almost 7 minutes of extra time came the final whistle.
The day after the match news sites reported about investigations about the bribed matches in the Serbian football championship. The Serbian sports minister, Nebojša Stefanović personally talked to the media
question is, how much we can take it seriously...
that they work together with the police to find out and investigate these bribed matches
Don’t laugh!!!! Stay serious!!! :DDDD
He mentioned that teams like Crvena Zvezda, Partizan, OFK Beograd and Čukarički are especially under investigation.

This will be more than interesting, especially because on one hand I’m sure even the highest (political) circles are involved in it, on the other, the minister promised to make all the details of the investigation public.
I swear it would deserve to be released as a documentary book.
