Radnički Kragujevac lost 2:3 to Podgorica in a club friendly match on Thursday. The visitors completed a 90-minute victory at the home ground. By then the hosts had already shown they were not a side to underestimate.
Radnički came into the game with momentum. They had won five consecutive matches — three with a 3:1 scoreline, one 3:0, and the most recent another 3:1 against Vojvodina. To be fair, the run of results suggested confidence was high.
Podgorica took control of the encounter and held on for the full result. The away side showed composure in front of their own supporters, who rarely saw their team play like this. The relationship between the two sides has not been tested before in such a setting.
What this means for both clubs remains to be seen. The win extends Podgorica's recent positive trajectory, while Radnički will look to build on their attacking form. Friendly matches like this provide evaluation rather than stakes.
