Red Star Belgrade achieved its third consecutive title for Serbian League of Lights, extending its record of 31 titles in the competition by winning five unanswered hosts and city rivals Rad on Friday with the resumption of the First Division after stopping since March due to the Corona pandemic. A silence applied to the match due to its stadiums without fans, and the 1991 European Cup champion, which won the title of the highest club competition in Europe on this day 29 years ago, was unable to celebrate the title with its supporters.

Red Star Belgrade became the first team to win the league title after the championship returned to spin.

Three rounds before the end of the season, Red Star owns 72 points from 27 games, 14 points ahead of his closest follower Partizan Belgrade, who will play with his guest Maladust on Saturday.

About 1,000 fans will be allowed to attend the matches from next week when Red Star plays at home against Radnik, with the Serbian government easing measures of public isolation.

The Rad, the penultimate team in the standings, seemed helpless during the match as Mirko Ivanic opened the scoring in the 24th minute with a penalty.
The heart of the defense doubled the secret of
Diane Babic, yielding the Red Star in the 30th minute from close range, and Alexa Vukanovic added the third goal after six minutes with a superb shot from ten meters.

Australian defender Milos Djignic scored the fourth goal after a corner kick in the 57th minute, before Vukanovic finished his team's fifth in the last few minutes.

Red Star coach Diane Stankovic and the former international midfielder who won the 2010 Champions League with Inter Milan expressed his happiness at the title.

"I thank all the players, the technical staff and the fans who supported us," he said in televised comments.

He continued, "Tonight we will celebrate the title deserved."
