Vojvodina beat Mačva 2-0 in the Super Liga regular season on Monday evening. The result puts the hosts two points clear of their visitors at the other end of the table. It was a straightforward afternoon for the home side, though not without its moments.
The breakthrough came in the fifty-ninth minute when D. Zukić found the net. He collected a yellow card himself shortly after, perhaps showing the intensity of the occasion. Mačva had been in control of the tie for stretches, but Vojvodina carved them open when it mattered.
The second goal arrived in stoppage time through L. Randjelović. By then the game was effectively over, but it reinforced the message. Mačva had hit a wall where it needed to create something, and Vojvodina kept them in it.
The statistics tell the story of a match where one side dominated. Vojvodina had sixty-six per cent possession and 124 attacks compared to Mačva's fifty. They registered four shots on target, while the visitors only managed three. Big chances created tells you everything — four for the hosts, none for the away side.
The result shifts things slightly in the standings. Vojvodina sit second with eighteen points from eight games, while Mačva remain eleventh on eight. It was not a statement win, but it is a useful one for the home side as the season takes shape.
