FK Crvena Zvezda have kept their slim title chances alive with a 3-0 victory over Belgrade rivals OFK Beograd.
Nine points behind
Tonight's match had been postponed from Saturday after trouble involving supporters disappointed in the club's recent performances. Crvena Zvezda are in second place but nine points behind leaders FK Partizan.
Two for Pjanovic
After a goalless first half, the hosts finally took control after the break when striker Mihajlo Pjanovic scored two goals and made another. He broke the deadlock in the 47th minute with a volley from inside the area and sealed the match with a 68th-minute effort, four minutes after setting up Leo Lerinc for Crvena Zvezda's second.
