The 115th edition of the Eternal derby match between Red Star Belgrade and FK Partizan on Saturday, 14 October 2000 at the Marakana was abandoned after three minutes of play due to fan rioting.
At one point, the team captain Saša Ilić was seen in front of the stand pleading to no avail with the Partizan ultra supporters to stop rioting.
[1] What ensued was mass brawling and running battles among the two sets of fans that led to the more numerous Red Star ultras quickly overpowering their Partizan counterparts and pushing them back towards the southern stand.
[1] Proleter Zrenjanin, Hajduk Beograd, Mogren, Spartak Subotica, and Borac Čačak were relegated to the Second League of FR Yugoslavia.
The relegated teams were replaced by 1999–2000 Second League of FR Yugoslavia champions, Napredak Kruševac (East) and Zeta (West).
