FK Partizan vs Getafe
The UEFA Conference League provided another night of high-stakes drama as two determined sides clashed in a battle for European supremacy. FK Partizan and Getafe went head-to-head in an encounter defined by tactical discipline and sudden bursts of clinical finishing.
A Tense Opening Half
Staged on August 27, 2026, the match began with a display of physical grit that saw the referee reach for his pocket early. Saba Sazonov of FK Partizan received the first booking in the 22nd minute, setting a combative tone for the evening. Getafe’s Enes Ünal followed suit with a yellow card of his own just ten minutes later. The home side was forced into an early tactical adjustment when Sazonov was replaced by Andres Garcia before the break. Despite several half-chances, both defenses held firm, leaving the match scoreless at the interval.
Breakthrough and Response
The game burst into life in the second half. In the 53rd minute, Jeh broke the deadlock for FK Partizan, clinical finishing a well-placed pass from Samson Nwulu. The goal ignited the atmosphere, but also the tempers, as Milan Vukotic and Zaid Abner Romero were both cautioned shortly after. Getafe refused to buckle and found their equalizer in the 70th minute when Enes Ünal turned provider to scorer, converting a chance created by Ramon Terrats to level the scores at 1-1.
The Super-Sub Decides It
With the match hanging in the balance, FK Partizan turned to their bench, a move that proved inspired. Erik Kojzek and Mateja Milovanovic were introduced in the 70th minute, and the impact was near-instant. By the 76th minute, Milovanovic turned provider for Erik Kojzek, who fired home to restore the lead for the hosts. Getafe threw everything forward in the closing stages, including substitute Borja Mayoral, but the Serbian side navigated seven minutes of stoppage time to secure a vital three points.
