Vojvodina beat Radnik after three second-half goals

Vojvodina beat Radnik 2-1 in the fourth round of the Serbian SuperLiga. All three goals arrived during a fifteen-minute period after halftime.

Dejan Zukic and Petar Sukacev placed Vojvodina two goals ahead. Vukasin Bogdanovic converted a penalty for Radnik, but the visitors could not equalise.

The first half ended without a goal

Vojvodina held more of the ball at Karadjordje but did not finish its first-half attacks. Radnik defended the central area and stayed close to its penalty box. The visitors also looked for direct attacks after recovering possession. Vojvodina goalkeeper Dragan Rosic remained alert when those moves reached his area. Neither side created a goal before the break. The 0-0 score reflected a period with effort but limited accuracy in the final action. Vojvodina needed greater speed after halftime. The home side began finding space between Radnik's midfield and defensive lines.

Dejan Zukic produced the first goal eight minutes after the restart. His finish rewarded Vojvodina's stronger approach at the beginning of the half. The goal forced Radnik to leave its compact defensive shape. More space then appeared for Vojvodina's midfielders during the next attacks. Zukic's contribution gave the home team control but not safety. One goal still left Radnik within a single successful attack of a level score. Vojvodina continued moving forward instead of protecting the narrow advantage. That decision produced a second goal ten minutes later.

Petar Sukacev scored in the sixty-third minute. Vojvodina had now converted two of its strongest attacks after the interval. The goals came from different players and separated Radnik's defenders. The visitors could no longer focus their attention on one home attacker. A 2-0 lead changed the pressure around the match. Radnik needed an immediate response before Vojvodina could slow the pace. That response arrived from the penalty spot. The referee awarded Radnik a penalty only five minutes after Sukacev's goal.

Vukasin Bogdanovic took responsibility in the sixty-eighth minute. He converted the penalty and reduced Vojvodina's lead to 2-1. Three goals had now arrived inside fifteen minutes. A quiet first half had become a close match with more than twenty minutes remaining. Radnik pushed for an equaliser and created several dangerous situations. Rosic made important saves and protected Vojvodina's advantage. The goalkeeper's work became especially valuable after the penalty. Vojvodina could no longer rely on the two-goal margin built earlier.

Vojvodina kept its 2-1 lead until the final whistle

Marko Savic's players dropped slightly deeper during the closing period. They still tried to keep the ball rather than clear every possession immediately. Radnik sent more players into attacking positions. The visitors created pressure but could not find the second accurate finish. Rosic and the central defenders completed the remaining work. Vojvodina reached the final whistle with its 2-1 lead intact. Around 1,500 spectators watched the match at Karadjordje. They saw every goal after halftime and tense final minutes for the home side.

Vojvodina earned its third victory of the new league season. It was also the second consecutive win under head coach Marko Savic. The result came from a productive fifteen-minute period rather than complete control across ninety minutes. Radnik remained dangerous after reducing the deficit. Zukic and Sukacev scored the home goals, while Rosic kept the lead safe. Each player contributed directly to the victory and three league points. Radnik leaves Novi Sad without a point despite a strong closing response. Vojvodina keeps the 2-1 win and another positive league result.

Rosic protected the lead after the penalty

Radnik increased its pressure after Bogdanovic scored from the penalty spot. The visitors still had more than twenty minutes to seek an equaliser. Dragan Rosic made important saves during that period. Vojvodina's defenders also cleared several deliveries into the penalty area.

Zukic and Sukacev had created the two-goal advantage earlier. Their goals remained decisive because Radnik converted only one later chance. The final whistle confirmed a 2-1 home victory. Vojvodina collected all three league points at Karadjordje.

All three goals came after a goalless first half

The match changed quickly after neither team had scored before halftime. Fifteen second-half minutes then produced the complete 2-1 result. Vojvodina won that decisive period by two goals to one. Vojvodina spent the remaining minutes protecting its one-goal lead.

Vojvodina scored twice before Radnik answered from the penalty spot. The contest became open only after Zukic broke the deadlock.
