League Play-Off

Gotalovo Arena
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The audience was convinced that Branislav Jadrešić's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Kristijan Kumar was relentless in the 7th minute of the game. If Pravdan Tomičić had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 9th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead.

Kristijan Kumar came out of the goal and Bernard Basarić tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The supporters of FK Krajišnik booed when Gotalovo was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 21 match minutes in a wonderful position. Zdeslav Dadić didn't get a good kick on the ball.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Branislav Jadrešić couldn't finish the play. Mario Ban might have been able to make a better finish in the 61st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Armin De Bettin. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Mario Ban ran back to his position shaking his head. 69 minutes into the match, FK Krajišnik's goal looked a bit too open when Petar Pelaić came free, but Armin De Bettin reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
