Semedrija 1924 saw off OFK Vršac 1:0 in the First League Regular Season on Saturday. The hosts took all three points at home, moving within three points of the second-placed visitors after eleven rounds of play.
They worked a short corner in the closing stages and came from the dead when I. Hadzic struck in the 70th minute. To be fair, the visitors had controlled large chunks of the match before that moment, but the stadium fell silent when the ball went in.
By then the visitors had already shown their class. They won 1:0 against OFK Bor 1919 last time out and followed that with a 2:1 victory over Napredak. We had given their hosts a 40 per cent chance of winning back home, and it came to pass in the end.
K. Janjic picked up a yellow card in the 51st minute, followed by D. Bojat two minutes later. M. Milivojevic came off in the 61st, and L. Serdar replaced someone in the 71st. Two changes came together in the 77th, with A. Preradov and N. Kodzic both off.
D. Bojat was substituted in the 80th, and a double change arrived in the 85th, bringing on S. Petkoski Cimbaljevic and S. Spiridonovic. A. Lutovac showed his second yellow in the 88th, and I. Hadzic himself was taken off in the 89th.
Semedrija sit fifth with 18 points from ten games, while OFK Vršac sit second with 21 points. The gap between them remains tight, and the hosts will feel they could have done more to secure the result after their late winner.
