The youngsters of Crvena Zvezda drew 1:1 in the eternal derby on the away field, despite the fact that they had many opportunities that they did not realize. The only goal in Nenad Milijaš's team was scored by Andrej Petrović in the 23rd minute from the penalty spot, after Veljko Vukojević was previously fouled.

The ball whizzed past the post in the third minute when Cvetković worked Vukojević, and he shot diagonally from the left side into the far corner and announced the offensive of Zvezda's talents. Vukojević once again tormented the Partizan defense, and just two minutes later, the second opportunity was seen when the fast-footed attacker sent Tegeltija to work, and he shot over the goal from a few meters away. There were chances in front of Radulaški's goal, so Stojsavljević crossed for Markočević in the 12th minute, and he headed just over the crossbar. The impression was that in the first 20 minutes, the black and whites did not leave their penalty area, and on two occasions, Petrović also lacked a little more composure to resolve the attacks more specifically.
Persistence paid off in the 23rd minute when Vukojević took the ball away from a Partizan defender, and then Dragojević stopped him improperly. Andrej Petrović was a reliable performer from the penalty spot, and with a strong shot in the crossbar, Zvezda took the lead. The home team had their first chance in the 28th minute when Tadić shot, and Draškić read the shot brilliantly and saved it. The eternal rival used the field initiative, so after the foul on Tadić, a penalty was played on the other side, and the safe performer in the 34th minute was Alilović. Black and white were uncertain in defense, so in the 36th minute, Cvetković almost took advantage of his rival's indolence and shot, but at Radulaški, who sent the ball into the corner. Zvezda did not use another chance when in the 38th minute Cvetković kicked Vukojević in front of Radulaški, but our striker, after dribbling and spoiling his own position, shot at the Partizan goalkeeper.
The crossbar of Partizan's goal also shook when Vidojević attempted a header after a corner, but the ball did not go into the net guarded by Radulaški even in the 47th minute. Even three minutes later, our attackers did not find a way to the Partizan net, when Vukojević once again found himself "eye to eye" with Radulaški and shot straight at him. The "projectile" towards the goal of the black and whites was fired by Petrović in the 64th minute, but Radulaški managed to push the ball into the corner with his utmost efforts. The Milijas players attacked until the referee's final whistle, but there was a lack of concentration in the end, considering that we failed to take advantage of almost 10 possible opportunities.
