Ristikj nets first goal for Jeonnam (Video)

Stevica Ristikj grabbed his first league goal for Jeonnam during the third round of the 2014 season in South Korea.

During Saturday’s game between Gyeongnam and Jeonnam Dragons, the 31-year-old Ristikj managed to score his first league goal for his new team.  Stevo, as he is affectionately known in South Korea, started at CF for Jeonnam and scored the second goal for his team in the 44th minute.

The goal by Ristikj came on a header following a corner kick from the right.  Stevo was closely marked inside the area, but his diving header managed to get to the back of the net.  That goal gave Jeonnam a 1:2 lead on the road, and they would go on to win the game 2:3 for their second win of the season.
