Radnik Surdulica 1-4 Vojvodina Novi Sad: Visitors Run Riot in Serbian Superliga Thriller

Vojvodina Novi Sad delivered a dominant attacking display at Stadion Surdulica, crushing Radnik Surdulica 4-1 in the Serbian Mozzart Bet Superliga. The win propels Vojvodina into a strong position in the race for European football, while Radnik’s relegation worries deepen.

Vojvodina came flying out of the blocks. Within the first 15 minutes, they were two goals to the good. Striker Milan Pavkov opened the scoring in the 8th minute, finishing a precise through ball from midfielder Dejan Zukić with a cool left-footed strike. Three minutes later, winger Ivan Vukčević doubled the lead with a curling effort from the edge of the box that left the Radnik goalkeeper rooted. The home side looked shell-shocked.

Radnik clawed one back before the half-hour mark. A corner kick was flicked on by central defender Nemanja Subotić, and forward Lazar Romanić reacted quickest to poke the ball home from close range. For a brief period, the momentum appeared to shift. However, Vojvodina quickly reasserted control, and they restored their two-goal cushion just before half-time when Pavkov scored his second of the night from a well-worked set piece.

The second half was more controlled. Vojvodina manager Nenad Lalatović made tactical substitutions to preserve energy, but his side still found a fourth goal. In the 79th minute, substitute Marko Đurišić broke through the Radnik defence and slotted home with a composed finish to seal the comprehensive victory.
