Partizan suffered a 2-1 home defeat to IMT in the third round of the Mozzart Bet SuperLiga.

The course of the match was largely determined by the 14th minute, when referee Miloš Milanović showed a straight red card to Aleks Zeković. Before the dismissal, Partizan had started brightly, with Milan Aleksić and Ibrahim Zubairu both testing IMT goalkeeper Ognjen Čančarević, who produced two fine saves.

With a numerical advantage, IMT gradually slowed the tempo of Saša Ilić's side before becoming increasingly dangerous on the counterattack. Their breakthrough came in the 52nd minute, when Dušan Žagar struck from the edge of the penalty area to beat Miloš Krunić.

Despite playing with ten men for most of the match, Partizan remained the more attacking side. Substitutes Shaka Traore, Milan Vukotić, and Marko Lekić injected fresh energy, pinning the visitors deep inside their own half. The pressure paid off in the 89th minute, when Vukotić curled a superb free kick into the net to level the score.

However, the celebrations were short-lived. In second-half stoppage time, Oriyemi Lebi took advantage of a breakdown in communication in Partizan's defence to score the winning goal and hand IMT all three points.
