Via Niche Cache - some highlights from the big derby game on the weekend (2-2 draw).
Stamenic sooo close to scoring in the first 5 mins! His left shot shaves the upright.
The atmosphere sounds electric, plenty of flares at one end from the Red Star ultras section.
The last 15 mins or so is frantic (2-2) with RS desperate to get a winning 3rd goal. Hit the woodwork twice, numerous last ditch Partizan goal line clearances. Huge game for both teams obviously.

Wow. What a game to have played in. At times the pitch couldn’t be seen as a result of smoke from the flares. The stadium is packed and coordinated. This game really really matters to this city. No complaints about lack of exposure.
This isn’t something you’d get the chance to experience in England (outside the big clubs) or Belgium or Ireland or Scandinavia and probably the Netherlands- though some of those derbies sound wild.
The highlights are mental- just wave after wave of penalty box skirmish and some how they can’t make weight of chances come to bare. Saves, cross bars, free kicks, misses…
Though the action goes on like this right into the hundredth minute, Stamenic was subbed after 56 minutes.
