If you thought summer was for resting, think again! The footballers of Čukarički from Banovo Brdo decided to show how to win even in the summer, and they did it in Slovenia! Three matches, three wins with impressive results: first, they beat Koper 1-0, then Celje 2-1, and finally on the auxiliary field of SC Domžale, they crushed the hosts 3-2. Head coach Milan Lešnjak didn’t hold back — he fielded a different lineup in every game, but the result was always the same — victory!
From the very start of the match against Domžale, Čukarički imposed their rhythm. The ball was mostly at their feet, and the play quickly moved to the opponent’s half. The first goal came early, in the 16th minute, when Dzigba broke through the left flank and assisted Luka Đorđević for a routine finish. The hosts quickly responded in the 23rd minute, but that didn’t shake the Brđani. In the second half, Domžale even took the lead 2-1, but Čukarički didn’t give up. Young Luka Đorđević missed a clear chance in the 59th minute, but luck was on the visitors’ side. The final goal was scored by Milan Pavkov in the 90th minute, sealing the 3-2 win.
This winning streak shows that Čukarički takes their summer preparations seriously and is ready to fight for the top of Serbian football. If they keep this pace, the season will be exciting to watch. What do you think — is this the start of a new era for Čukarički or just summer form? Drop your thoughts, let’s see who’s optimistic and who’s skeptical!
