IMT Novi Beograd vs OFK Beograd Match Recap - Oct 25, 2025

IMT Novi Beograd and OFK Beograd Share Spoils in Hard-Fought Stalemate

In a match that echoed the unpredictability of the Super Liga, IMT Novi Beograd and OFK Beograd played to a tense 1-1 draw at an undisclosed venue on October 25, 2025. The early exchanges suggested a certain intensity, with goal action lighting up the scoreboard before the match had barely settled into a rhythm.

Nikola Knežević fired OFK Beograd into the lead only two minutes in, taking advantage of a defensive lapse that sent shockwaves through the home side. The visitors, perched precariously in fourth place, were keen to capitalize on their recent form, which had seen them notch up two solid victories in their last five outings. However, the jubilation was short-lived for OFK, as IMT Novi Beograd responded swiftly, equalizing through an unidentified player just nine minutes later. This goal marked a much-needed resurgence for a side that had struggled in the league, sitting in 12th place with only 13 points to their name prior to the match.

Despite both teams carving out opportunities, the scoreline remained unchanged. IMT, still licking wounds from a heavy 6-1 defeat to FK Crvena Zvezda just days prior, showed resilience. Their efforts in this match reflected a determined pivot; fighting back to secure a draw against a more fancied opponent could serve as a foundation to rebuild their season. This represents a small, if vital, step away from the relegation zone, if only temporarily.

For OFK Beograd, this result raises questions about their capacity to clinch vital points against mid-table rivals. Their ambitions of rising above their current fourth place will require more than just early bursts of brilliance. Even as they maintained a largely dominant possession game, the draw failed to close the gap between them and the top three parties in the league.

As the dust settles, both teams now must confront what lies ahead. For IMT Novi Beograd, consistency in performance will be paramount if they are to steer clear of the relegation battle; each draw feels like a lifeline but not quite enough to transform their season. Meanwhile, OFK Beograd will need to shake off the disappointment of dropped points, knowing they must harness their momentum from recent matches and transform it into tangible results if they are to rekindle their aspirations for European qualification.

With each passing matchday, the pressure mounts and the stakes grow higher in the Super Liga. What began as a mid-table tussle has morphed into a critical juncture for both sides, with aspirations of improvement and stability hanging in the balance.
