After a goalless opening spell, the breakthrough arrived from the spot at 34'44''. That moment separated the sides at the interval, with CSKA 1948 taking a 1-0 lead into half-time after a first period that had been tighter than the final score would later suggest.
The second half brought the decisive swing. CSKA 1948 doubled their advantage at 55'56'', giving Partizan Belgrade a steeper task for the final half-hour. The visitors could not find a route back, and the home side finished strongly, adding a third right on 90'00'' to put the result beyond any doubt.
The final score also continued a good recent run for CSKA 1948 in this fixture after their 2-0 win over Partizan in March 2023. Partizan, who had been averaging 2.2 goals across their previous five matches, were shut out this time. The stats, score progression and match summary all pointed the same way by full time: CSKA 1948 were clinical in the key moments and fully deserved the result.
