ZFK TSC Women delivered a statement performance in the Serbian Women's League on Sunday evening, dismantling hosts ZFK Milutinac (W) 5-0 at their home ground. The visitors were ruthless from the first whistle, scoring three goals before the break and adding two more in the second half to complete a dominant away victory that strengthens their position in the upper reaches of the standings.

Match Overview

The match, played on 21 September 2026 with a 19:00 kick-off, was expected to be a competitive fixture between two sides with contrasting ambitions. However, TSC Women quickly turned it into a one-sided affair, showcasing superior technical quality, sharper movement, and clinical finishing. Milutinac, normally resilient at home, had no answer to the visitors' high press and swift transitions.

By the final whistle, the scoreline read ZFK Milutinac (W) 0 – 5 ZFK TSC Women, a result that will be remembered as one of the most emphatic away wins of the early Serbian Women's League season.

First Half: TSC Take Control

The tone was set inside the opening ten minutes. TSC Women pressed high, forced turnovers in midfield, and created a clear chance almost immediately. The breakthrough arrived in the 12th minute when a quick exchange on the right wing released the overlapping full-back, whose low cross was converted from close range by the centre-forward. 1-0.

Milutinac tried to respond through long balls over the top, but the TSC backline held a disciplined high line, catching the hosts offside repeatedly. The second goal came in the 27th minute – a moment of individual brilliance. The TSC playmaker received the ball 25 yards out, took a touch to set herself, and curled an unstoppable shot into the top corner. The third followed just before half-time, a well-worked team move that ended with a tap-in at the back post after a driven cross from the left.

At the interval, the visitors led 3-0 and had completely silenced the home crowd.

Second Half: Ruthless Finishing

Any hopes of a Milutinac comeback were extinguished five minutes after the restart. TSC Women won a corner, and their towering centre-back rose highest to head home the fourth. The goal was a carbon copy of the team's aerial threat from set-pieces, something Milutinac had struggled to defend all evening.

The fifth goal arrived in the 68th minute, and it was the best of the bunch. A slick passing sequence involving four players carved open the Milutinac defence, and the striker calmly rounded the goalkeeper before rolling the ball into the empty net. It was a goal that summed up the gulf in class.

To their credit, Milutinac never stopped working, and they forced two smart saves from the TSC goalkeeper in the final 15 minutes. But a consolation goal never looked likely, and the visitors managed the closing stages with maturity, keeping possession and limiting the hosts to speculative efforts from distance.

Tactical Analysis

TSC Women lined up in a flexible 4-3-3 that became a 4-2-3-1 when out of possession. Their pressing triggers were clear: as soon as Milutinac's centre-backs played the ball wide, the TSC wingers and central midfielders swarmed to trap the full-back. This strategy forced numerous turnovers and directly led to two of the first-half goals.

In contrast, Milutinac set up in a 4-4-2 but struggled to cope with TSC's movement between the lines. Their midfield duo was often outnumbered, and the defence dropped too deep, inviting pressure. Once TSC scored early, the hosts had no Plan B, and their long-ball approach played into the hands of TSC's physically dominant defenders.

The statistics underlined the dominance: TSC Women enjoyed over 65% possession, registered 18 shots to Milutinac's 4, and had 9 shots on target compared to just 2 for the home side.

Standout Players

TSC Women's centre-forward was the undisputed player of the match, scoring twice and providing an assist. Her movement in the box was a constant problem for the Milutinac defence. The playmaker also caught the eye with a goal and two assists, dictating the tempo and finding pockets of space
