Crvena zvezda is untouchable in the Serbian national championship, but the cup offers an easier, albeit still demanding path to the trophy for all other clubs from Serbia. This year, one of the major rivals from Belgrade, who have won seven of the last eight cups, will play in the final, and Vojvodina will also compete for the “pot.” In 2020, Vojvodina broke the Belgrade dominance, and their placement in the grand final this time also means the following: Milan Mandarić is already in the running for his first trophy in Serbian football!
The former president of Olimpija recently returned to Novi Sad, where he became the vice president of the club he supported in his younger years. Milan Mandarić emphasized upon joining Vojvodina that he wants to see the club at the top of Serbian football, while also believing in success in Europe. And who knows, perhaps it will soon be evident that Vojvodina needed him for their first trophy in four years…
Vojvodina traveled to Kragujevac for the semifinal, where 12,000 spectators gathered at the Čika Dača stadium. Radnički, ahead of Vojvodina in the championship, was favored, also due to the advantage of playing at home. However, Mandarić’s club played an excellent match. In the end, they triumphed 1-0, and to make it all the more dramatic, the lone goal of the match was scored in the 91st minute, bringing joy to Novi Sad courtesy of Seid Korać. The cup final will take place on May 23rd.
