In a tight affair of the Super Liga, FK Novi Pazar played host to FK Kolubara on March 18th, 2023. Despite a tight and competitive match up, FK Kolubara successfully edged past Novi Pazar with a 1-0 victory.

The defining difference between the sides was the sole goal scored by FK Kolubara 50 minutes and 45 seconds into the second half. Despite this, the game was not entirely sided in FK Kolubara's favour throughout. Novi Pazar dominated in terms of corner kicks, winning 6 compared to just 1 for FK Kolubara, indicating a lot of pressure on FK Kolubara's defence. However, the Novi Pazar side was unable to capitalize on these set-piece opportunities to alter the scoreboard.

Discipline appeared to be an ongoing issue for FK Kolubara during the game, as suggested by accruing four yellow cards, spread out between the first and second half. Their indiscipline did not stop here as they also committed more than double the number of fouls committed by Novi Pazar (8 to 3). However, it's worth noting that despite their lack of discipline, FK Kolubara held on to their slender lead, showing resilience even under pressure.

Moreover, the match saw Novi Pazar maintaining a cleaner play with only one foul landing in a yellow card. This came late into the second half, at exactly 1 hour, 27 minutes, and 33 seconds—just seven seconds before the fourth yellow card of FK Kolubara. Despite the overall disciplined play from Novi Pazar, they weren't successful in securing an equalizer against the visitors.

The away side's only goal—despite the pressure, yellow cards, and fouls—proved pivotal and was enough to see FK Kolubara cross the finish line in this crucial Super Liga fixture. As underlined by the official stats, resolute defensive work accompanied by well-timed attacks shaped the final direction of this contest. This match reaffirms the principle that football isn’t simply about scoring a boatload of goals or winning possession or corner-kick battles; it’s about capitalizing on the limited chances created, something FK Kolubara did and FK Novi Pazar didn’t.
