Nine points clear
Partizan did what they had to with a 2-0 win at FK Vojvodina. Damir Cakar and Vladimir Ivic scored the first-half goals which effectively took Partizan nine points clear of Crvena Zvezda. The latter were held 1-1 by Zemun, who took the lead through Ilija Stolica before Sanibal Orahovac spared Belgrade blushes with a second-half equaliser.
Apatin denied spoils
FK Cukaricki beat FK Rudar Plevlja to climb above their opponents in mid-table. Ivan Petrovic's goal separated the sides in Belgrade. FK Mladost Lucani moved further away from the drop zone with a 1-1 draw at fourth-placed FK Sartid. Zoran Kulic earned them a point, cancelling out Nenad Mirosavljevic's first-half opener. Meanwhile, FK Obilic stayed third following a 1-1 draw at rock-bottom FK Mladost Apatin. The hosts were denied the spoils when Bojan Filipovic equalised Miroslav Grumic's goal from a seemingly offside position.
Zeta minus
Elsewhere, FK Rad edged past FK Hajduk Kula, 2-1, with goals from Milan Mester and Borislav Stevanovic sandwiching a Marko Perovic effort. And FK Zeleznik had a 3-1 victory over high-flying FK Zeta.
