Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Janko Posarić took the kick off in the first half of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Janko Posarić in the 11th minute of play forced Babina Greda's goalkeeper Žarko Divjak to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Vedran Milak hit a great freekick 13 minutes into the match. Ozren Šurbek hit a great freekick 19 minutes into the match. Miha Munjaković, 20 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Babina Greda's Žarko Divjak proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 22nd minute of the match, managed to save Babina Greda from getting a goal against them. Severin Ćorluka fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 23rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Bernard Latin having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Babina Greda's Natko Tukša got a free kick in the 29th minute. Bernard Latin took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Veselin Stošić, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 39 minutes into the match, CRO Champions's goal looked a bit too open when Severin Ćorluka came free, but Bernard Latin reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Severin Ćorluka sent away a hard shot on goal in the 41st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. After 43 minutes, Severin Ćorluka made it 0-1 with a short kick to the right side. CRO Champions's Bernard Latin tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. After the first half Babina Greda were leading 0-1. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Severin Ćorluka to make the kick off. Damjan Budan received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 52nd minute. Žarko Divjak tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Janko Posarić blasted a shot towards the goal in the 58th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Žarko Divjak having to make a save. Bernard Latin made an important save on a dangerous shot by Veselin Stošić in the 62nd minute. Veselin Stošić received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 69th minute. Bernard Latin tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 70th minute the ball was on its way in behind CRO Champions's goalkeeper Bernard Latin, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. If Janko Posarić had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 75th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Žarko Divjak showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Damjan Budan, who was totally free with the ball in the 78th minute. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Janko Posarić in the 83rd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Žarko Divjak saved Babina Greda from getting behind. Damjan Budan kicked well hit freekick during the 87th minute of the match. Bernard Latin showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Severin Ćorluka, who was totally free with the ball in the 88th minute. After 89 minutes, Severin Ćorluka made it 0-4 with a short kick to the right side. CRO Champions's Bernard Latin tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 92nd minute, Berislav Opašić hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 96 minutes into the match, CRO Champions's goalkeeper Bernard Latin had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Veselin Stošić. 97 minutes into the match, Babina Greda's Severin Ćorluka sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Bernard Latin narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Babina Greda played a much better game than CRO Champions and deserved their victory. The CRO Champions players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
