Željko Samčović stands alone
10 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.

Novi Pazar say no — this time
The offer from Crvena Zvezda for Driton Camaj was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Words exchanged at Novi Pazar
Driton Camaj 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.

Novi Pazar find a way past Spartak Subotica
Spartak Subotica made Novi Pazar work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

One of their own: Željko Samčović
He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Luka Bijelović beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 19. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Vladimir Ilic steps up from the Novi Pazar academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Vladimir Ilic 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.

One of our own: Bogdan Babic joins the Novi Pazar first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Bogdan Babic is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
In brief
- Player ratings Ninety minutes of Stefan Stanisavljević at his very best
- The dugout Matija Malekinušić gets it from the manager
- Squad Too much change too quickly at Novi Pazar
