Vojvodina Novi Sad delivered a controlled and clinical away performance to beat OFK Beograd 2-0 in the Mozzart Bet Superliga on Sunday, strengthening their push near the top end of the table while leaving the hosts with plenty to ponder. A first-half breakthrough and a late second goal gave Vojvodina a deserved three points and a valuable clean sheet at the Omladinski stadion.

Match overview

OFK Beograd began with intent and enjoyed spells of possession in the opening quarter, looking to use width and early crosses to test the visiting defence. Vojvodina, however, stayed compact and refused to be dragged out of shape. The visitors grew into the contest and took the lead in the 34th minute when a quick turnover in midfield released a forward into space, and he finished low beyond the goalkeeper.

The second half followed a similar pattern. OFK Beograd pushed more bodies forward in search of an equaliser, but Vojvodina’s defensive discipline held firm. The decisive moment arrived in the 78th minute, when the visitors broke at speed after surviving a spell of home pressure. A well-weighted pass opened the OFK back line, and a composed finish made it 2-0, effectively settling the contest.

Key moments

• 34th minute: Vojvodina punish a loose OFK Beograd pass with a swift counter-attack and take a 1-0 lead.
• 52nd minute: OFK Beograd’s best chance of the match arrives from a cross, but the header is directed straight at the goalkeeper.
• 66th minute: A goal-line clearance keeps Vojvodina’s advantage intact after a goalmouth scramble.
• 78th minute: Vojvodina seal the win with a fast break and a low finish into the bottom corner.

Tactical story

Vojvodina Novi Sad were happy to concede possession in harmless areas and defend the central corridor. Their midfield screen protected the back four well, and when they won the ball back, they looked to transition quickly rather than build slowly. That approach suited an away fixture and produced two goals from moments of sharpness rather than sustained pressure.

OFK Beograd, by contrast, found it difficult to turn territory into clear chances. They crossed the ball regularly, but Vojvodina’s centre-backs dealt with most deliveries comfortably. The home side’s final pass was often rushed, and their best opportunities came from set pieces rather than open play.

Standout performers and table impact

Vojvodina’s goalkeeper and central defenders deserve credit for a composed clean-sheet performance, while the midfield duo set the tone with intelligent pressing and quick distribution. For OFK Beograd, the goalkeeper made several important saves to keep the scoreline respectable, but the attacking unit lacked the cutting edge needed to change the game.

The result gives Vojvodina Novi Sad another important three points in the Mozzart Bet Superliga standings and reinforces their reputation as one of the league’s more organised sides. For OFK Beograd, the defeat is a reminder that home advantage alone will not be enough; they must find more creativity in the final third if they are to climb the table consistently.
