Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Srbinovo's Imir Ljapčev played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Milorad Aleksov in the 8th minute of play. After 12 minutes of play, Srbinovo's Zoki Ratkoski made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Makaraie Cuculoski was left in no man's land by his defense there! 22 minutes into the match, Zoki Ratkoski notched a goal, 0-2, to the right of Orizari FK's Makaraie Cuculoski. Makaraie Cuculoski was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 27th match minute, Srbinovo was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Arian Gjika to maneuver through the defense. Orizari FK's Marko Debarliev couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 29th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Srbinovo. If Zoki Ratkoski had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 34th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a rather tough play, Srbinovo's Ile Nakov got a free kick in the 38th minute. 39 minutes into the match, Srbinovo's goal looked a bit too open when Milorad Aleksov came free, but Imir Ljapčev reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Milorad Aleksov had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-2 lead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Zoki Ratkoski to strike the kick off in the second half. Orizari FK's Makaraie Cuculoski proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 53rd minute of the match, managed to save Orizari FK from getting a goal against them. Zoki Ratkoski sent away a hard shot on goal in the 60th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 61 played minutes Orizari FK got a freekick which was hit by Maksim Manoilovski. After a defensive mix-up in Orizari FK's zone, Avram Temelkov stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Makaraie Cuculoski came out of the goal and Avram Temelkov tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The crowd rose to their feet as Zoki Ratkoski kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Makaraie Cuculoski. That made the score 0-3 in the 66 minute of play. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Maksim Manoilovski during the 78th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Makaraie Cuculoski took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Zoki Ratkoski, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Avram Temelkov struck a weak shot in the 88th minute. Makaraie Cuculoski didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Srbinovo. In the 93rd minute, Emilijano Nikolov had to be helped off the field due to a pulled leg muscle. Stefan Nacev charged in rather forcefully in the 93rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Stefan Nacev the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Srbinovo's supporters were very happy and cheered loudly because their team had won after a very close match.
