Dzepčište Stadion
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Gorazd Mitkovski got the match started through his kick off. In the 10th minute the ball was on its way in behind Vrbovec's goalkeeper Bekim Nastev, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. An unexpectedly hard shot by Alekso Todorovski in the 18th minute of play forced Dzepčište's goalkeeper Bogdan Taševski to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Pandil Ajeti sent away a hard shot on goal in the 20th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. With a little luck, Vrbovec's Bekim Nastev got control of the ball when Pandil Ajeti tried to sneak it across the goal line. The supporters of Dzepčište booed when Vrbovec was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 22 match minutes in a wonderful position. Blagoja Topalovski didn't get a good kick on the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 38th minute, Alekso Todorovski managed to get in a good position for a shot. Vrbovec's supporters rose to their feet, but Alekso Todorovski was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Bogdan Taševski breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Dzepčište were furious when Velko Spasovski was red carded, 40 minutes into the game, but the referee dismissed their protests. 40 minutes into the game, one of Dzepčište:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. In the 44th minute there was a penalty for Vrbovec. Luljon Vangelovski stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Bogdan Taševski. 0-1. In the 47th minute, Saško Dejanovič got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

The wind increased when Alekso Todorovski made the kick off in the second half. Bogdan Taševski was a little too slow when Alekso Todorovski got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 52nd minute. The score was now 0-2. If Pandil Ajeti had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 60th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 63 minutes, Oliver Dimitrov managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Dzepčište's supporters crossed their fingers, but Oliver Dimitrov was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Alekso Todorovski fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 66th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Bogdan Taševski having to interfere. Radovan Selimi hit a great freekick 70 minutes into the match. In the 71st minute, Dragoljub Bislimi sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Vrbovec's Bekim Nastev didn't even have to move. Dzepčište's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Alekso Todorovski 81 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 0-3. Pandil Ajeti sent away a hard shot on goal in the 86th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 89th minute, Alekso Todorovski got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Through an outstanding action, after 91 minutes, Bogdan Taševski successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. 91 minutes into the game, Nikifor Andreev was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Dzepčište's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Vrbovec the free kick. Nikifor Andreev hit a great freekick 92 minutes into the match. Vrbovec's supporters were very happy and cheered loudly because their team had won after a very close match.
