Sremska M. secured a 3:1 victory over Partizan in a women's cup match played on 26 September 2026. The result adds another chapter to both sides' recent struggles and triumphs in Serbian women's football.
Partizan arrived with a heavy burden. Their last five matches include four defeats by three-goal margins, with only one goal scored across that run. To be fair, the pattern suggests a team searching for answers.
Sremska M. came into the fixture with a mixed record. They had suffered a 0:3 defeat to Crvena Zvezda the day before, but their history shows they can produce results against stronger opposition — including two 3:0 wins earlier in the season.
And here's the thing about cup football: form often takes a back seat to motivation. Partizan's recent run of heavy losses might have left them vulnerable, while Sremska M. seemed to have found something in their approach.
By then, the visitors had already established themselves as a side capable of competing. Their two victories over Spartak Subotica and Belgrade earlier in the season showed they could score freely when conditions suited them.
The final scoreline tells a simple story, though the context makes it more complex. Partizan's defensive record has been their undoing — three goals conceded in four of their last five matches. Sremska M. matched that vulnerability but found more goals in return.
