Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Vesko Velev took the kick off in the first half of the match. When Vlado Baharov came up free with the goalie in the 7th minute, the Leeds U. fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Vlado Baharov couldn't finish the play. Neno Marinski's late challenge caught a Ливърпул ФК's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Neno Marinski helped the player get up and apologised. Neno Marinski kicked well hit freekick during the 9th minute of the match. In the 19th match minute, Leeds U. was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Neno Marinski to maneuver through the defense.
