Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Miladin Ljuben started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. After some fancy dribbling in the 4th minute, Miladin Ljuben managed to get in a good position for a shot. Dren's supporters rose to their feet, but Miladin Ljuben was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Srečko Mihailovski breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. When Pane Prokopievski came up free with the goalie in the 14th minute, the Dren 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 Pane Prokopievski couldn't finish the play. When Naum Ordanov fell near the penalty area in the 20th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Dren's protests and gave Naum Ordanov a yellow card for diving instead. After 21 played minutes Dren got a freekick which was hit by Naum Ordanov. Lambe Utkov recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 22nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

Srečko Mihailovski didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Dren. When Miladin Saševski was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 41 minutes had been played. The supporters of Dren booed when Borino was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 41 match minutes in a wonderful position. Miladin Saševski didn't get a good kick on the ball. Pane Prokopievski's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Srečko Mihailovski read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 44th minute of play. Borino's Srečko Mihailovski proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 48th minute of the match, managed to save Borino from getting a goal against them.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Lambe Utkov to strike the kick off in the second half.

In the 79th minute Miladin Ljuben shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Srečko Mihailovski saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.
