FK IMT Belgrade 0-1 Mladost Lucani: Late Strike Decides International Club Friendly

Mladost Lucani edged FK IMT Belgrade 1-0 in a tightly contested International Club Friendly on the night of 2 July 2026. The match, held at a neutral venue as part of pre-season preparations, was decided by a solitary goal deep into the second half.

Both sides used the fixture to build match fitness and experiment with line-ups. IMT Belgrade, the Serbian top-flight side, started brightly, pressing high and forcing Mladost's goalkeeper into a couple of early saves. However, the final ball often let them down, and Mladost grew into the game as the first half progressed.

The deadlock was broken in the 74th minute when Mladost Lucani's forward latched onto a through ball, held off a defender, and slotted calmly past the IMT keeper. The remainder of the match saw IMT push for an equaliser, but Mladost's defence held firm, restricting the hosts to long-range efforts.

For IMT Belgrade, the result is a minor setback in pre-season, but the performance showed promising signs, particularly in the first half. Mladost will take confidence from a disciplined defensive display and clinical finishing when it mattered. The friendly served its purpose for both coaches, who made multiple substitutions to give squad players valuable minutes.
