The supporters of Brown Bears booed when Semič was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 9 match minutes in a wonderful position. Smail Čebulj didn't get a good kick on the ball. Čedo Vogrinčič fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 11th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Edin Budal having to interfere. 13 minutes into the match, Brown Bears's goal looked a bit too open when Filip Porčić came free, but Damiano Pejčić reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Bogo Žnidar 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. Bogo Žnidar succeeded in the game's 21st minute to shoot an unreachable shot under the crossbar and scored - 0-1.

After a rather tough play, Brown Bears's Huso Mahkovec got a free kick in the 39th minute. If Čedo Vogrinčič had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 46th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The Brown Bears players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Semič were winning 0-1.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Bogo Žnidar to make the kick off.

Bogo Žnidar might have been able to make a better finish in the 60th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Damiano Pejčić. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Bogo Žnidar ran back to his position shaking his head. 60 minutes into the game, Bogo Žnidar was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player.
