Serbian striker Uros Durdevic is one of the world’s best young strikers. Unfortunately, his season in Serie A with Palermo last year was devastated by a fractured ankle. He struggled to regain form and fitness and returned to Serbia to sign for Partizan Belgrade.
Based off of this goal, it looks as though things are starting to fall into place for the 22-year-old, who led Serbia to the gold medal at the 2012 UEFA U-19 Championship.
After a somewhat failed attempt at controlling a free kick, Durdevic cuts inside on his marker only to have his initial shot blocked. At this point, you might be thinking to yourself “classic Serbian SuperLiga action”.
Stop thinking like that. That’s just ignorant.
The blocked shot comes right back at Durdevic, who realizes that it’s going to take something special to get the football past the eight defenders that are converging towards him.
Commence left-footed flick, right-footed smash sequence from 18 yards out. The ball flies into the side-netting at the far post, giving Partizan a 1-0 lead against Napredak in the Serbian Cup.
Partizan would go on to win the match 3-1, advancing to the quarterfinals of the competition.
