Bituše Stadion
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Djordje Petrovič kicked off to start the match. After 5 played minutes Bituše Napredok got a freekick which was hit by Naum Radevski. Bituše Napredok's Mihail Savev played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Saško Ratkoski in the 9th minute of play. In the 9th match minute, Bituše Napredok was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Bane Antevski to maneuver through the defense. Saško Ratkoski sent away a hard shot on goal in the 11th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 12th minute, Živko Radojevič hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Saško Ratkoski blasted a shot towards the goal in the 15th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Mihail Savev having to make a save. A collision led to Selemli Partizan getting a freekick after 21 minutes play. Hajdar Bejta hit a great ball. 22 minutes into the game, Djordje Petrovič was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Bituše Napredok's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Selemli Partizan the free kick. After a rather tough play, Bituše Napredok's Djordje Petrovič got a free kick in the 22nd minute. Mihail Savev took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Saško Ratkoski, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Bituše Napredok's Mihail Savev played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Razvan Vukovič in the 32nd minute of play. When the match had gone on for 34 minutes, Saško Ratkoski put it in 0-1 from a short distance just to the right of Mihail Savev. When Razvan Vukovič came up free with the goalie in the 37th minute, the Selemli Partizan 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 Razvan Vukovič couldn't finish the play. Razvan Vukovič struck a weak shot in the 40th minute. Mihail Savev didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Selemli Partizan. With a little luck, Selemli Partizan's Svetomir Filipovski got control of the ball when Milorad Dimovski tried to sneak it across the goal line. Hajdar Bejta was shown his second yellow card after 47 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match. After a rather tough play, Selemli Partizan's Hajdar Bejta got a free kick in the 47th minute. The Bituše Napredok players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Selemli Partizan were winning 0-1.

The wind increased when Razvan Vukovič made the kick off in the second half. In the 55th minute, Razvan Vukovič fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. Milorad Dimovski recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 58th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 62 minutes into the match, Razvan Vukovič had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Mihail Savev. Bituše Napredok's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Razvan Vukovič was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. In the 66th minute Djordje Petrovič shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Svetomir Filipovski saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in Selemli Partizan's zone, Milorad Dimovski stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Svetomir Filipovski came out of the goal and Milorad Dimovski tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Milorad Dimovski might have been able to make a better finish in the 71st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Svetomir Filipovski. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Milorad Dimovski ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 77th minute Djordje Petrovič shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Svetomir Filipovski saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Djordje Petrovič in the 79th minute of play forced Selemli Partizan's goalkeeper Svetomir Filipovski to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Djordje Petrovič had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 80th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Bituše Napredok's Milorad Dimovski got a good chance for a goal in the 84th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Saško Ratkoski hit a great freekick 86 minutes into the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 90th minute, Razvan Vukovič managed to get in a good position for a shot. Selemli Partizan's supporters rose to their feet, but Razvan Vukovič was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Mihail Savev breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Razvan Vukovič fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 93rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mihail Savev having to interfere. If Razvan Vukovič had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 95th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Svetomir Filipovski didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Milorad Dimovski went, in the 97th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-2 was the resulting score. When the final whistle sounded Selemli Partizan left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Bituše Napredok.
