The referee showed Samir Jankulovski the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 47 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Tajmište Sloboda!

After 60 minutes of play, Majden Napredok's Panče Maksimov made it 3-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.
