In the 2nd minute we already attacked, but Šaponjić was on offside. Then in the 5th minute came the first attempt by Vojvodina that brought cardial arrest, heart attack and screaming, after Pekarić and Gaćinović were passing the ball to each other at our penalty area. Pekarić passed the ball to Gaćinović with an Oxford trick, Gaćinović passed it back, then Pekarić shot from the goalmouth. Živko Živković had a great save.
In the next 3 minutes we survived two other dangerous Vojvodina-attacks. The home team kept us under heavy pressure in the first 15 minutes. Their very quick counter-attacks were dangerous and they did not keep themselves back from full contact clashes. Both teams fought hard, then in the 15th minute Brašanac sent a shot to the goal from 16 metres, the only problem was a defender standing right in the way of the ball.
A minute later Balažic wanted to run up, when Ivanić appeared out of the blue, tackled him and headed towards our goal with the ball. Our entire defense line ran back in all haste, Ivanić dribbled everyone and passed to Čurko. Volkov arrived and saved everyone’s life, in the last moment.
In the 17th minute we got a free kick, almost at the half-line. Drinčić stood behind the ball and kicked it inside the penalty area. There was Šaponjić waiting for the ball, he headed it, but the goalkeeper saved, while the assistant waved his flag for offside.
In the 20th minute we got a free kick, now about 30-35 metres from the goal line. Again Drinčić shot, now instantly to the goal line, but goalkeeper Žakula caught the ball. A minute later came another cardial arrest situation. Gaćinović passed the ball to Ivanić on the left side. Ivanić burst into Partizan’s penalty area and shot. Živko Živković saved it, but the ball dropped to another Vojvodina-player standing in the goalmouth. He immediately shot, but Branko Ilić was right there and inactivated the attempt, then Brašanac cleared the area by kicking the ball out.
In the 22nd minute Andrija Živković was dribbling, then he shot from 20 metres, but the ball flew out above the crossbar. Two minutes later Drinčić was tackled and Vojvodina immediately started a counter-attack. Ćurko shot from the right side, but it was too wide. We made a counter-attack. Andrija Živković ran up and passed to Bandalovski. The Bulgarian defender passed the ball to the middle to Babović. Babović shot from the penalty area line, Žakula had a giant save, the attempt ended in a corner. Two minutes later Babović passed the ball to Šaponjić from almost the half-line. Šaponjić shot, too wide.
In the 29th minute Vojvodina got a free kick. They were standing at the penalty area line on the right side. The ball flew in to the penalty area, Ćurko missed it with 1 millimetre (if he had headed it, then Vojvodina would have been on the lead at this point...), still the ball was dangerously close to our goal line. In the 30th minute Andrija Živković got the ball after a corner. The midfielder shot, right onto the side net.
In the 36th minute we got a free kick, at least 40 metres from the goal, almost at the left sideline. Drinčić kicked the ball inside the penalty area. There Volkov rose up from the mass and headed the ball into the net. GOOOOAAAAAAL!!! 0:1
Even Živko Živković ran out to celebrate with the teammates
This goal made the pace even quicker, even though it was very fast by default, with quick switches and counter-attacks, that made the scene change almost in every second.
Then in the 42nd minute Gaćinović ran up on the left side with the ball. He was inside our penalty area when Balažic tackled him. Vojvodina players complained for penalty, but the referee whistled goal-kick instead.
The scene was replayed numerous times, from different angles, from frame to frame. I’ll be honest: if I was a neutral viewer, I would maybe say it was indeed a penalty. But I’m not a neutral viewer. Other than this, I can’t just not forget about the last season’s match against Vojvodina, when we were leading to 1:0 and the referee whistled a penalty against us in the 92nd (!!!) minute, that was clearly NOT penalty. Karma is a bitch.
Nevertheless in the 44th minute Vojvodina got a free kick, but they shot the ball out of the stadium.
Second half, 47th minute, Vojvodina had a new attempt. They ran up to our goal line, passing the ball to the middle. Bandalovski missed it (he kicked into the air), finally the dangerous scene was missed out.
Our attempts at this point ended with offside. Vojvodina practiced offside-tactics with high efficiency. Meanwhile Partizan fans made wildfire on the tribune.
In the 59th minute Andrija Živković got the ball on the right side, after heavy wrestling. He passed the ball inside the penalty area to Šaponjić. Šaponjić shot, right into a defender. Brašanac grabbed the ball immediately and wanted to shot, but two defenders started to pull and tousle him, while the referee whistled offside.
In the 62nd minute Babović passed to Andrija Živković. The midfielder tackled himself through Vojvodina’s defense line and shot. The ball hit a defender, finally the goalkeeper caught it.
In the 71st minute we got a corner kick. Ćirković headed the ball down to the ground. It dropped in front of the goalkeeper who desperately tried to catch it, all in vain. Volkov arrived, shot and the ball landed in the middle of the net. GOOOOAAAAAAALL!!! 0:2
Lukač joined his teammates from the bench to celebrate
In the 75th minute Stojanović ran up with the ball towards Partizan’s goal line. Živko Živković ran out and performed one of his amazing saves. In the 78th minute Babović passed to Andrija Živković. Živković ran up, tackled and shot, the goalkeeper had a great save.
At this point Partizan clearly dominated the game. Vojvodina’s pace was slowed down by the two goals. They got to our penalty area again some time in the 80th minute. Ivanić shot, from 8 metres, but the ball flew out above the crossbar.
In the 86th minute again Andrija Živković tackled himself up to Vojvodina’s penalty area. Bandalovski got the ball, he passed it to the middle, the goalkeeper caught it.
We were in the last minutes of the match, in the 90th minute. Grbić passed to Babović on the left.
Babović passed it to the middle.
The ball hit a few defenders and dropped right in front of Ninković who sneaked up to the goalmouth. Džigi didn’t waste a moment, he shot, the ball tore the net into tiny pieces. GOOOOAAAAAAALLLL!!!! What a goal!!! 0:3
The coup de grace was still left.
90+1st minute, probably everyone was waiting for the final whistle. Partizan players were passing the ball to each other, then Andrija Živković, the nuclear reactor of Partizan got the ball. He ran up to Vojvoidna’s penalty area, passed the ball to the middle, where Brašanac arrived in synchron with Živković. He thanked the pass and walked into the net with the ball. GOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLL!!!!! 0:4
