The 168th eternal derby between Partizan and Red Star Belgrade (Crvena Zvezda) featured several debutants, including Osman Bukari and Kristijan Belic.
The Ghanaian scored the only goal for the red and whites, and it was a masterful one, while the latter won the sympathy of the black and white side of Topiderski Brdo because of the game in the middle of the field.
And in the conversation with “Sportski žurnal”, Belić was honest when he commented on the derby, especially when it comes to Bukari’s goal.
“The moment when Bukari scored was incredible. I said to myself: congratulations! Zvezda’s attacker caught my eye, although he didn’t cause us problems except for that shot. We did a good job,” said Belić.
Osman Bukari has been outstanding for Red Star Belgrade in his debut season, and it is no surprise that he has been named one of the best players in the Serbian league.
He is ranked second among the top ten players in the Serbian Super Liga after matchday 10, with his impressive performances helping Red Star Belgrade to second place.
The 23-year-old received a rating of 6.78, trailing only teammate Mirko Ivanic, who received a rating of 6.83.
Osman Bukari’s countryman Samuel Owusu is ranked fifth on the list.
He has scored four goals in seven league games for Red Star Belgrade, pushing them in their bid to defend their title.
Red Star Belgrade broke their transfer record by signing Osman Buakri from KAA Gent during the summer transfer window.
