Luka Trpeski scores hat-trick in 45 minutes, now has seven goals this season
The forward hit three goals between the 12th and 37th minute against Grafičar and now has seven for the season.
Red Star Belgrade's youth forward Luka Trpeski produced another eye-catching performance on 26 August 2026, scoring a rapid hat-trick in the match against Grafičar and reinforcing his reputation as one of the club's brightest prospects.
Trpeski — who also holds a Swedish passport — struck three times between the 12th and 37th minute, and was substituted at half-time. It was his second hat-trick of the campaign and brought his tally to 7 goals so far this season.
Fast rise into first-team orbit
The 45-minute scoring burst follows a period in which Trpeski earned trust from Dejan Stanković and joined the first team's training sessions. With a change of head coach at the club, sources say the youngster is expected to come under the scrutiny of the new coach, Riera.
Trpeski has publicly set his sights on appearances in the UEFA Youth Champions League with Red Star's youth side this season, and his recent form strengthens that ambition.
In the same match, teammates Masev and Krstevski also took the field for the Red Star youth team, which now looks to build on the positive result and the momentum generated by Trpeski's performance.
