Borko Kufner spun around in front of the goal 32 minutes in the game, and got away a shot that, to his disappointment, went to the left of Krnica Zrmanja's goal. 34 minutes into the match, Mišo Đupić had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Sanjin Crnić. Opuzen Hajduk's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Mišo Đupić was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. Opuzen Hajduk's Neno Nikšić got a good chance for a goal in the 47th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.

In the 69th minute, Mišo Đupić hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.
