Partizan players defeated TSC in the derby match of the 12th round of the Mozzart Bet Superliga and returned to the top of the table with a 1–0 (1–0) victory.
The winning goal in an extremely tough and physically demanding match in Backa Topola, played after a two-week international break, was scored by Yanis Karabeljov from a set-piece routine that completely outplayed the home defense. The Bulgarian international appeared in the right place and sent a precise shot into the net.
The black-and-whites created several more good chances, especially in the closing minutes, but failed to score again, securing a narrow but important win.
Goalkeeper Marko Milosevic was also instrumental, making three or four key saves against clear TSC chances, keeping his goal intact and providing the team with the energy and confidence needed to see out the victory.
Partizan’s young squad showed composure even when under pressure, facing challenges calmly and proving once again that with each match, this team is growing in maturity and experience across all aspects of play.
