Zlatibor Čajetina are welcoming Radnik Surdulica for another important game after their 1-1 result against 11th-placed Javor Ivanjica.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Rad Beograd was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
