LASK Crvena Zvezda Women delivered a ruthless attacking display to thrash Vojvodina Women 7-2 in the Serbian Women’s League, with a devastating second-half performance turning a competitive contest into a one-sided rout. The home side’s clinical finishing and relentless pressure proved too much for Vojvodina, who had briefly threatened a comeback before Crvena Zvezda pulled clear.

Match overview

Played on 26 October 2026, the fixture promised goals given the attacking quality on show, but few could have predicted such a lopsided scoreline. LASK Crvena Zvezda Women started brightly, dominating possession and pinning Vojvodina deep inside their own half. The early pressure paid off when Jovana Stojanović opened the scoring with a composed finish after a flowing team move.

Vojvodina responded well to the setback and equalised midway through the first half through Tamara Kovačević, whose low shot found the bottom corner after a rare foray forward. Parity lasted only ten minutes. Crvena Zvezda regained the lead through Milica Petrović, who headed home from a corner, and they never looked back. By half-time, the hosts had added a third through Ana Ilić’s precise strike from the edge of the box.

Key moments

The decisive period came early in the second half. Vojvodina had started the brighter after the restart and pulled one back through Kovačević’s second of the night, making it 3-2 and briefly raising hopes of an upset. But Crvena Zvezda responded almost immediately, Stojanović restoring the two-goal cushion with a powerful run and finish.

From that point, the match became a procession. Crvena Zvezda’s midfield seized control, and the fourth goal arrived when Ilić turned provider, sliding a perfect pass through for substitute Jovana Marković to score. The home side added two more late on as Vojvodina’s defence tired. Stojanović completed her hat-trick with a clinical close-range finish, before Marković grabbed her second of the evening to complete the scoring.

Tactical story

LASK Crvena Zvezda Women set up with an aggressive high press and a midfield diamond that overwhelmed Vojvodina’s central pairing. Their full-backs pushed high, stretching the visitors’ defence and creating space for the forwards to exploit. The movement of Stojanović and Ilić in particular proved unplayable; both dropped deep to receive the ball and then spun in behind, constantly asking questions of the Vojvodina back line.

Vojvodina’s best moments came on the counter-attack, and their two goals were well taken. However, they were unable to sustain pressure for long periods and were repeatedly exposed when they lost possession in midfield. The visitors’ defence, which had looked organised in the opening 20 minutes, became increasingly ragged as the game wore on, and Crvena Zvezda’s superior fitness and bench depth told in the final half-hour.

Standout players

• Jovana Stojanović (LASK Crvena Zvezda Women): The hat-trick hero led the line superbly, combining sharp movement with clinical finishing. Her second-half goal killed off any lingering Vojvodina hopes.
• Ana Ilić (LASK Crvena Zvezda Women): A constant creative force, scoring one and assisting two others with intelligent passing and excellent set-piece delivery.
• Jovana Marković (LASK Crvena Zvezda Women): The substitute made an instant impact, scoring twice in the closing stages and adding fresh energy to the attack.
• Tamara Kovačević (Vojvodina Women): The visitors’ brightest spark, scoring both goals and causing problems with her direct running before tiring.

Season impact

The victory strengthens LASK Crvena Zvezda Women’s position in the Serbian Women’s League standings and sends a clear message to their title rivals. A seven-goal haul is a statement of intent, and the manner of the win — recovering from conceding twice to dominate the latter stages — highlights the squad’s resilience and firepower. For Vojvodina Women, the defeat is a chastening experience, but the two goals scored away from home will offer some consolation as they look to regroup for their next fixture.

With the league campaign entering a crucial phase, Crvena Zvezda will be eager to build on this result and maintain their momentum. Their next opponents will need to find a way to contain Stojanović and Ilić, a task that has proven difficult for most defences this season. Vojvodina, meanwhile, must address their defensive vulnerabilities if they are to climb the table and challenge for a top-half finish.
