As of tonight, the record stands at 72:48 or +24 in favor of the Red-and-Whites, with 58 draws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nenad Stojakovi\u0107\u2019s plan to mark the main organizers of Red Star\u2019s play yielded results in the first 40 minutes of the match. Red Star did not have space to spread out and reach the opponent\u2019s goal through passing combinations, but they managed to put pressure on Partizan\u2019s defense toward the end of the first half and take the lead through Vasilije Kostov, which proved to be the key moment of the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Red Star played with much more confidence in the second half, while Partizan was left without a basic idea in their play. Arnautovi\u0107 doubled the home team\u2019s lead with an effective strike in the 56th minute, while the final score was set after the best action of the match in the 77th minute: Arnautovi\u0107 executed a bicycle kick, Kostov cleverly laid the ball off with his heel, and Katai sent an unstoppable shot into Partizan\u2019s net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nenad Stojakovi\u0107\u2019s lineup paid the price for poor closing of the first and opening of the second half, and then missed the chance to get back into the match from the penalty spot in the 73rd minute. Mateus saved a weak attempt by Milan Vukoti\u0107, Andrej Kosti\u0107 ran onto the rebound and scored, but after a VAR review it was determined that the Partizan striker had encroached, so it remained 2:0, and Red Star soon removed any doubt about the winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/departure-of-a-serbian-genius-from-chicago-dr-ljubomir-djordjevic-the-scientist-who-invented-artificial-blood-has-passed-away\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">DEPARTURE OF A SERBIAN GENIUS FROM CHICAGO: Dr. Ljubomir Djordjevic, the scientist who invented artificial blood, has passed away!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/by-order-of-donald-trump-america-is-putting-pressure-on-nato-to-withdraw-its-army-from-kosovo-and-metohija\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">BY ORDER OF DONALD TRUMP: America is putting pressure on NATO to withdraw its army from Kosovo and Metohija!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/phoenix-at-the-crossroads-of-history-why-more-battles-were-fought-for-belgrade-than-for-any-other-city-in-the-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">PHOENIX AT THE CROSSROADS OF HISTORY: Why more battles were fought for Belgrade than for any other city in the world!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/masons-in-chicago-said-no-to-kosovo-the-serbian-masonic-lodge-fought-to-ensure-the-kosovo-lodge-does-not-receive-recognition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">MASONS IN CHICAGO SAID \u201cNO\u201d TO KOSOVO: The Serbian masonic lodge fought to ensure the Kosovo lodge does not receive recognition!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/serbian-diplomats-prevented-a-scandal-in-vienna-kurtis-ambassador-wore-the-kla-symbol-immediately-sanctioned-by-the-un\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">SERBIAN DIPLOMATS PREVENTED A SCANDAL IN VIENNA: Kurti\u2019s ambassador wore the KLA symbol, immediately sanctioned by the UN!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The footballers of Red Star Belgrade convincingly defeated Partizan Belgrade 3:0 in the Eternal Derby as part of the 24th round of the Mozzartbet Serbian SuperLiga.
