Serbian Cup, 1/16 final: FK Rtanj Boljevac - FK Partizan 0:3

I do not deny - and don't feel ashamed at all - that I fell asleep after the first goal and woke up some time in the half-time. It was scored it in the 35th minute by Tawamba, and let's admit, the boys didn't have a hard time, neither before the goal, nor afterwards. Well, okay, obviously they didn't have to push themselves hard against the otherwise very much likabke and enthusiastic Rtanj. And let's admit that, too, that the home team didn't get scared at all. They played in a well-organized, spectacle style, and yes, sometimes we were lucky not getting the ball behind our goal. I had the same impression as last night watching the WC-qualifier between Hungary and Faroe Islands (yes, I watched it, because I'm a masochistic bastard), as Faroe playing simply but bravely and focused tackled easily Hungarians who sometimes just stared out of their head while often being dangerously close to the home team's goal. It was similar here, too, on the other side there was an enthusiastic and organized Rtanj, on the other a not-soooo-enthusiastic Partizan playing on the obligatory minimum level. That's it, there's nothing else to say. Just for the sake of facts: out second goal was scored by Jevtović from penalty in the 70th minute, the third was brought by Ožegović in the 86th. Dear FK Rtanj, hats off, applause and respect to you!
