Kwaku Karikari wins it late for Zeleznicar Pancevo against Javor

Ghanaian striker Kwaku Karikari stepped off the bench to deliver a dramatic 92nd‑minute winner as Zeleznicar Pancevo edged Javor 2–1 in Ivanjica.

Introduced just before the hour, Karikari spent most of his time stretching the hosts’ tiring back line before striking at the death.

Javor went ahead on 51 minutes through Aleksa Radonjić, who finished a move created by Loué Bayéré. Zeleznicar hit back in the 76th minute when Petar Petrovic turned the ball into his own net to level the score and tilt momentum towards the visitors.

The decisive moment arrived deep into stoppage time. Smart link-up play released substitute Aleksa Kuljanin on the flank, and his low ball found Karikari, who calmly slotted home for 2–1 to spark wild celebrations from the travelling bench.

Karikari’s strike continues a strong 2025/26 Serbian Super League campaign, where he has now made 23 appearances, scoring 9 goals and providing 1 assist.

The result keeps Zeleznicar in 4th place with 51 points after 30 games.
