Partizan suffered a shocking 4-0 home defeat in the hands of third-placed TSC.
Nikolic made a rare start on the expense of suspended Saldanha while Kalulu back among starters for injured Severina. Filipovic kept his right-back place ahead of Stojkovic.
Partizan was 2-0 down before the 15th minute mark. TSC crowned bright opening with two goals coming from corner-kicks - the first one took a weird route and the ball ended up in the far corner without anyone getting a touch so the goal gets credited to corner-kick taker Cirkovic.
TSC was 2-0 up on 11 after another corner-kick and two near post headers with Partizan defence caught off guard.
Shocked Partizan tried to reply and before 20th minute mark few semi-opportunities were wasted.
Natcho was closest to scoring but his 26th minute effort was cleared off the line after agile Kalulu stole possession off the keeper.
Partizan players claimed handball in the box on 30 but the VAR check cancelled it.
TSC was 3-0 up on 33 after another corner-kick ball and far post close range header from Radin.
Boss Duljaj introduced Stojkovic and Menig for Filipovic and Kanoute after the break.
Partizan pressed on early in the second half but TSC scored on the counter-attack 5 mins into the restart. Jovanovic came out to make a save but Milovanovic sent the ball into the empty net on the rebound.
TSC continued to threaten as Partizan left a lot of defensive gaps trying to be more effective in the attack.
Antic had a good opportunity on 64 but his angled effort was saved by TSC keeper.
Best Partizan build-up of the second half finished with another goal-line clearance from Nikolic`s effort.
Clearly shocked Partizan was unable to create anything else while visitors had two goals disallowed before final whistle for offsides on a counter-attack play.
