A rampant Crvena zvezda stormed to a win and another title against a sluggish Rad team that couldn't cope with the quality of Dejan Stanković's side. Vukanović bursted into the box and was felled by Perendija. Referee pointed to the spot and Mirko Ivanić duly converted the penalty to give his side the lead.
Defender Srđan Babić scored a rare goal after a well-worked free kick routine by the red and whites to make it 2-0.
Just six minutes later Aleksa Vukanović made the most of a clever El Fardou Ben pass and slotted home to increase the lead and all but secure the points.
Half time break came and went, but Rad still couldn't find a way to cancel Zvezda out. Ten minutes into the second half Miloš Degenek rose the highest to head into the net from a Ben corner and make it 4-0.
Dušan Jovančić thought he's scored a screamer only to see his effort cannon off the post on 75 minutes, but Zvezda would score another soon.
Mirko Ivanić eluded all defenders and squared perfectly for Aleksa Vukanović to sidefoot home and make it 5-0 with ten minutes to go.
Well done, red and whites! We are the champions... AGAIN!
