There was no love lost between two Krusevac-based clubs when Jedicevac Krusevac hosted FK Trajal Krusevac in the Serbian Cup on September 2, 2026, with Jedicevac claiming a dominant 3-0 victory. The match was billed as a local derby with plenty of pride at stake, and the home team made sure the bragging rights stayed firmly on their side of the city.

Jedicevac dominates from the first whistle

Playing in front of a passionate crowd, Jedicevac controlled the tempo from the outset. Their midfielders pressed aggressively, forcing Trajal into repeated turnovers in dangerous areas. The breakthrough came midway through the first half when a powerful low strike from the edge of the box flew into the bottom corner, leaving the Trajal goalkeeper with no chance.

Jedicevac doubled their lead before halftime following a sweeping team move. The third goal arrived in the second half, converting a penalty after a winger was brought down during a mazy run. Trajal’s discipline wavered in the closing stages, and they finished with ten men after a second yellow card was shown to their captain.

A polished cup display

The 3-0 scoreline reflected Jedicevac’s superiority on the night. They looked sharper in attack, more organized at the back, and fully deserving of their place in the next round. For Trajal, the derby reverse was a painful reminder of the standards they need to reach in order to compete with their local rivals in cup competitions.

Serbian Cup early round rewards local rivalries

Matches like this one give the Serbian Cup an added layer of intensity, as clubs from the same region battle for local supremacy as well as national cup progress. Jedicevac’s convincing win will be remembered by their supporters, and it sets up a highly anticipated second-round appearance later in the competition.
