Radnicki 1923 Kragujevac 5-0 Mladost Lucani — Radnicki 1923 Kragujevac delivered one of the most emphatic performances of the Serbian Mozzart Bet Superliga season, thrashing Mladost Lucani 5-0 at Stadion Čika Dača on Sunday, September 13, 2026. A ruthless first-half display set the tone, and the hosts added late gloss to a victory that will boost both confidence and goal difference.
Match Overview
Radnicki 1923 started with high intensity and never allowed Mladost Lucani to settle. The hosts pressed aggressively, won possession in dangerous areas, and attacked with numbers whenever the ball was turned over. Mladost tried to absorb pressure in a deep block, but the sheer volume of Radnicki’s attacking waves proved impossible to contain.
The breakthrough came in the 11th minute when Vladimir Radojević arrived late in the box to finish a cut-back from the left. Radnicki doubled the lead in the 24th minute through captain Nemanja Tomić, who curled a precise effort into the far corner after a short passing move on the edge of the area. The third goal arrived in the 39th minute, Aleksandar Vulić turning sharply inside the penalty box and firing low past the goalkeeper.
Any hope of a Mladost comeback effectively disappeared early in the second half when the visitors were reduced to ten men after a second yellow card. Radnicki punished them almost immediately, Vulić adding his second of the night in the 58th minute with a composed finish after being played through one-on-one. Stefan Čolović completed the scoring in the 81st minute, heading home a deep cross at the back post.

Tactical Story
Radnicki’s dominance began with their pressing structure. They forced Mladost into hurried passes and then attacked the spaces left behind the visitors’ midfield. The front four rotated constantly, dragging centre-backs out of position and opening lanes for late runners. Set-pieces were also a weapon, with Radnicki winning several second balls around the penalty spot.
Mladost Lucani struggled to keep possession for more than a few passes and offered almost no threat on the counter. Once the red card arrived, the match became a matter of damage limitation. Radnicki, to their credit, remained patient and professional, adding two more goals rather than settling for a comfortable win.
Standout Players
Aleksandar Vulić was the standout performer with two goals and constant movement that unsettled the Mladost defence. Nemanja Tomić controlled the tempo from midfield and scored a superb second goal, while Vladimir Radojević set the tone with the early opener. Radnicki’s centre-backs barely put a foot wrong and helped secure a clean sheet to go with the five goals.
Season Impact
The result lifts Radnicki 1923 Kragujevac in the Mozzart Bet Superliga standings and gives them a significant goal-difference advantage in the race for a high finish. For Mladost Lucani, it is a heavy defeat that raises questions about their defensive resilience. In a league where away points are precious, Mladost will need to regroup quickly.
