Otrant-Olympic 3-2 Napredak: Eight-minute blitz turns 2-0 deficit into comeback friendly win at Zlatibor

Otrant-Olympic staged a remarkable second-half recovery on Sunday, scoring three times in eight minutes to overturn a 2-0 deficit and beat Serbian SuperLiga side Napredak Kruševac 3-2 in a pre-season friendly at Zlatibor.

The Montenegrin First League side looked beaten when Napredak doubled their lead early in the second half, but a devastating spell of attacking play between the 70th and 78th minutes flipped the game completely.

How it unfolded

Napredak struck first through a 35th-minute goal, taking a 1-0 lead into half-time. The Serbian side doubled their advantage just two minutes after the restart — 2-0 in the 47th minute, and Otrant faced a mountain.

The response was emphatic. Otrant pulled one back in the 70th minute to make it 2-1, then levelled through a goal in the 74th minute. The winner arrived four minutes later in the 78th minute, completing a three-goal salvo in just eight minutes of game time.

The turning point

The 70th-minute goal was the catalyst. Before that, Otrant had offered little in attack and Napredak looked comfortable protecting their two-goal cushion. Once the first goal went in, the momentum shifted decisively — the pitch at Zlatibor suddenly tilted in Otrant's favour, and Napredak could not stem the flow.

Key performers

Suhel Muharremi scored his first goal for Otrant Olympic in this fixture, a significant moment for the Skopje-born striker who joined the club during the summer window. Halil Muharremović converted a penalty in the closing stages — the goal that sealed the comeback, according to local reports from Rolaj-me.

Napredak's goalscorers in the first 47 minutes were not officially named in available match data, but the Serbian side's early dominance was clear.

By the numbers

The defining stat is the eight-minute window: 0-2 at 47 minutes, 3-2 by 78 minutes. Otrant scored three goals from an xG that would have been negligible at half-time. The hosts managed nothing in the first 70 minutes and then produced a goal every 2.7 minutes during their decisive spell. Napredak, for their part, will rue conceding three goals in such a short burst after having controlled the game for the first hour.

What it means

Both sides are in the middle of pre-season camps at Zlatibor, a popular mountain resort in western Serbia that hosts multiple clubs for summer training. The result is a useful confidence boost for Otrant as they prepare for the 2026/27 Meridianbet 1. CFL campaign. For Napredak, the defeat serves as a lesson in game management — a two-goal lead in pre-season is no protection against a sudden momentum swing.

The match was streamed by Napredak's official YouTube channel, with the full 24-minute broadcast available on FK Napredak Kruševac's page.

Verdict

A pre-season friendly that started as a routine workout for Napredak turned into a statement of resilience from Otrant Olympic. The speed of the comeback — three goals in eight minutes — is noteworthy regardless of the fixture's friendly status. Otrant's fitness and mentality stood up well; Napredak's concentration dipped sharply at the decisive moment.
