The '''2007–08 Serbian Cup season''' iswas the second season of [[Serbia]]'s [[Association football|football]] knockout competition. [[Red Star Belgrade|Red Star]], the holders of the [[Serbian Cup|Lav Kup Srbije]], began the tournament as favorites to lift the cup again. It seemed as though Red Star where on their way to winning the cup again having passed all stages with class. Then came the semifinal clash with arch-rival [[FK Partizan|Partizan]] in what many considered the game of the tournament. The match came with much controversy due to a goal Red Star scored late that was flagged for offside. The replays clearly showed that Red Star's midfielder [[Nenad Milijaš]] was on, but what made matters worse was that the referee apologized to him and admitted that he had made a mistake. Several days after the incident the side judge retired from refereeing and openly apologized to Red Star and the supporters of the team. In the final, Partizan went on to face heavy underdog [[FK Zemun]], who had a miracle run in the cup which included three wins from [[penalty shootout (football)|penalty shootouts]] on their road to the final. Zemun's luck ran out however, as Partizan cruised to a 3–0 victory to claim their tenth domestic cup.
