Vojvodina withstand Partizan's two-goal response in a 3-2 win

Vojvodina beat Partizan 3-2 at Partizan Stadium after building a two-goal first-half lead. Milan Kolarevic scored twice for the visitors, Lazar Randjelovic added their third, and Elias Kojzek supplied both Partizan goals.

Kolarevic shaped the first half

Milan Kolarevic placed Vojvodina in front in the 18th minute and scored again in the 35th. His two goals created the decisive early separation and sent the visitors into the later stages with a margin large enough to survive Partizan's eventual response.

The timing changed the burden of the match well before the interval. Partizan were not chasing a single equaliser after Kolarevic struck for the second time; they needed two goals merely to return to level terms. Vojvodina had secured room for one setback, although the closing score showed that the room would be used.

Kojzek reopened the match

The score remained 2-0 until Elias Kojzek pulled one back in the 69th minute. Partizan's first goal did more than reduce the numerical deficit. It changed a match led comfortably on paper into a one-goal contest with enough time remaining for the hosts to pursue an equaliser.

For Vojvodina, the task immediately became more demanding. The visitors were still ahead, but their earlier protection had disappeared and the next goal carried unusual weight. A Partizan goal would have completed the recovery; a Vojvodina goal would rebuild the cushion that Kolarevic had established.

Randjelovic supplied the crucial reply

Lazar Randjelovic scored in the 78th minute, nine minutes after Kojzek had brought Partizan closer. The goal made it 3-1 and restored Vojvodina's two-goal advantage at the moment when the home side had begun to place the original lead under direct pressure.

That third visiting goal ultimately separated a victory from a draw. It did not end Partizan's scoring, but it raised the size of the comeback required again. With the match already in its final phase, Partizan had to find two further goals rather than one.

Partizan carried the contest into added time

Kojzek scored his second goal in added time and reduced the deficit to 3-2. His brace gave Partizan a late chance to save something from a match in which they had trailed by two goals on two separate occasions.

The second reply arrived too late to change the outcome. Vojvodina protected the remaining one-goal margin until the final whistle, leaving Kojzek's contribution as evidence of a serious home recovery but not a completed comeback. Partizan narrowed the gap twice without ever drawing level.

The sequence explains the final score

The 3-2 total alone suggests a close match, but the order of the five goals is the central story. Vojvodina moved 2-0 ahead, Partizan cut the margin, the visitors answered, and Partizan reduced it once more. At every stage after the opening goal, Vojvodina remained in front.

That continuous lead distinguishes control of the score from comfort in the closing minutes. The visitors never had to regain an advantage because they never lost it. Partizan forced them to defend it twice, first after the opening home response and then during the brief period following the added-time strike.

Vojvodina leave Belgrade with the reward

Vojvodina's first-half work and Randjelovic's timely intervention combined to secure all three points at Partizan Stadium. Kolarevic gave the away side the platform, while the third goal ensured that one more Partizan response would not be enough.

Partizan's late push made the finish tight and Kojzek ended the game with two goals, but the hosts received no league point. Vojvodina's ability to remain ahead through each change in the score turned a dramatic five-goal contest into a completed away victory.

The late goals changed the feeling, not the winner

Partizan's two second-half goals made the finish increasingly tense, but Vojvodina answered the first response before facing the second. Randjelovic's goal restored a two-goal difference after Kojzek had reduced it, forcing the hosts to chase again. Kojzek's added-time finish then narrowed the final score without leaving enough time for another completed comeback.

This sequence explains why the match cannot be reduced to Vojvodina's strong first half or Partizan's late push alone. The visitors created the decisive base through Kolarevic, then found an additional goal when their advantage was under pressure. Partizan improved its position twice but never reached equality. Every response changed the next problem, yet the away side remained ahead at each decisive stage.

For both teams, the review should follow that order. Partizan need to study the first-half situations that produced the original deficit as well as the attacks that later worked. Vojvodina can value the win while examining why the closing minutes became so difficult. The final 3-2 rewards the visitors, but the route to it offers separate lessons about starting authority and protecting a lead.
