Crvena zvezda continues to triumph in a row, despite the fact that the title is mathematically secured, and now we defeated Čukarički in the third round of the Serbian Superliga playoffs with 4:0. Kings Kangwa and Marko Rakonjac solved the question of the winner in an identical way - with headers, while the backs - Lazar Nikolić and Irakli Azarov were in the role of assistants, so that Stefan Mitrović, as well as Uroš Spajić, who was at his best, would be more accurate. possible way to show that the injury is in the past.

Despite the fact that Milojević, due to the condensed schedule, because we already have a cup game waiting for us on Wednesday, rotated the team, so the standard ones - Kanga and Katai, and Dragović and Pešić were out of the protocol - Zvezda quickly gained the advantage. The sixth minute was played when Nikolić passed on the right side and crossed for Kings Kangwa, and he uncharacteristically headed the ball into the near corner. Zvezda continued to threaten on the left side, Mitrović dribbled, and apart from the young Serbian representative, Ivanić also had a chance in the 11th minute, although Belić stood out with his defense.
He showed Bukara, seven minutes later, that Zvezda is also dangerous on the right flank, so he brilliantly outwitted Drezgić, and aimed the ball for Rakonjec, which was intercepted by Gajić in the last minute. In the 19th minute, Zvezda scored another goal, the executor was Marko Rakonjac, and again the defender did a large part of the work, this time Azarov. The Georgian passed on the left side, brilliantly crossed to the "second" post where the Montenegrin striker was standing alone, and he "bowed down" and beat Belić.
On two occasions, Ivanić was able to score, but Gajić was able to block him both times, although Zvezda seemed quite energetic on the field and seemed to be able to score at any moment. The guests were good in the block, so Drezgić also stood out in the 28th minute when Rakonjac shot from ten meters, but at the stopper Čukarički. The pace dropped by the end of the first half, and in the 45th minute, Ivanić shot just past the goal post, again putting Belić in trouble.
Milojević was replaced at halftime, so instead of Milunović, who was back on the field after almost two months after his injury, young Leković got a chance. Ivanić was able to score in the 49th minute after Bukari's cross, when he shot wide on the left side. The guests had a chance in the 54th minute when Ivanovic stepped in front of Borjan and shot past him, and the talented Lekovic managed to intervene on the goal line and heroically save Zvezda. Rakonjac shook the crossbar in the 63rd minute when he showed that he had a "cannon" in his leg and wanted to beat Belić from 25 meters away, and he almost did.
Milojević continued with the changes, so Srnić and Prucev got a chance, but also Spajić, who, today, played for the first time after returning to Zvezda, which means that the injury for our stopper is in the past. Mitrović could also be among the scorers in the 78th minute when Ivanić, after a series of dribbles, just put the ball away for him, and the fast-footed offensive player shot just over the goal. However, a minute later, Stefan Mitrović was also among the scorers. Zvezda worked on the left side again, and Prutsev sent a strong ball into the Čukaricki box, where the visitors' defenders were uncertain, which Mitrović took advantage of, hitting Belic's goal, but that was not all. Uroš Spajić put the point in the match in the 90th minute, and celebrated his return to Zvezda in the best possible way. After the corner, he accepted the ball on the penalty kick, and from the turn, while falling, hit only the crossbar of Belic's goal.
