Then came the turning point, 81st minute, Nadj to Davidović, Davidović with a perfect through ball to Jimotheus, and just like that, Istanbul took a 4:3 lead. Two minutes later, Dobrić sealed the win with a header to make it 5:3.
Davidović had a solid game with a goal and an assist, proving once again that he belongs in an attacking role. Still, he wasn’t fully satisfied. “I need to be better with my passing. That’s my focus for the rest of the academy season,” he said after the match.
