Despotović 76' (pen.) | Report |
The final was held atPartizan's Stadium on May 15, 2007 inBelgrade,Serbia. The final pitted Serbian powerhouseRed Star against the up-and-coming sideFK Vojvodina. Vojvodina jumped out to the brighter start, with great attacking play from midfielderMilan Davidov running the show and wing-backNikola Petković causing problems down the left.
StrikerRanko Despotović came close in the 10th minute after a darting run by Petković. Luckily for Red Star, their veteran defenderDušan Basta foiled a flowing move with a last-gasp tackle after keeperIvan Ranđelović was beaten.
Red Star responded with aNenad Milijaš free kick that almost crept in andMilan Purović`s close-range header before Koroman broke the deadlock on the hour with a crisp shot from the edge of the penalty box.
Vojvodina were on the back foot in the second half and failed to muster a single shot on target as Davidov faded and talentedMontenegrin playmakerIgor Burzanović ran their defence ragged at the other end.Dušan Đokić sealed the win with a delightful 85th-minute lob after a defence-splitting pass from Burzanović.
"We couldn't break them down in the first half but our lads responded well after the halftime chat in the dressing room and we dedicate this victory to our fans," said Red Star's delighted coachBoško Djurovski.
Koroman also praised the home section of the 25,000 crowd and said Red Star would now aim for success in Europe.
"Our fans were like an extra man on the pitch again and we want to treat them to someChampions League football next season."
