Red Star Belgrade’s match at Serbian top division rivals Borac Cacak was postponed yesterday after one of their supporters was killed in a fight with rival fans.

“The Superleague’s director made the decision after consultations with the representatives of both clubs, the Football Association of Serbia and the Interior Ministry,” Red Star said.

“In a tragic event that occurred on the night between Friday and Saturday, a Red Star fan lost his life.

“The club extends its sincere condolences to the fan’s family. The new date for the match will be announced in due course.”

Belgrade media reported that fans clashed in the central Serbian city in the early hours of the day after Red Star supporters arrived in droves.
