Nikola Vasiljević stands alone
7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Baylee Dipepa is a medical away from Javor-Matis
The deal with Southampton is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Javor-Matis bid $250.0K for Stefan Ranđelović
The offer went to Radnik Surdulica this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Words exchanged at Javor-Matis
Eric Ocansey and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

A row about effort at Javor-Matis
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Dušan Pantelić was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Door shut on Mihailo Todosijević
Javor-Matis asked and Mladost Lucani said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

A bad afternoon for Javor-Matis against Partizan
0‑2 to Partizan, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Orebro join the queue for Dimitrije Stevanović
Add another name to the list: Orebro have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Dimitrije Stevanović. The answer from Javor-Matis has not changed — yet.

Predrag Vlahovic steps up from the Javor-Matis academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Predrag Vlahovic has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
