Gornji Milanovac
Spectators: 39 (Terracing: 30, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Buda Katanić took the kick off in the first half of the match. After 2 played minutes Bogovina OFK got a freekick which was hit by Jelenko Kajtez. The attack was good, but when Buda Katanić in the 3rd minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. Gvozden Petrović showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Avram Radojićic in the 8th minute of the match. In the 12th minute, Jakov Đurašević hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 13th minute of the match Nikodim Janjić shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Gvozden Petrović showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Avram Radojićic took the ball and in the 20 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Gvozden Petrović. Gvozden Petrović dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. In the 24th minute Buda Katanić shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ivo Zdravković saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Gvozden Petrović stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Vitomir Jelisavčić's shot from short distance in the 26th minute. With a little luck, Bogovina OFK's Ivo Zdravković got control of the ball when Sibin Stepanov tried to sneak it across the goal line. 30 minutes into the match, Gornji Milanovac FK's goal looked a bit too open when Avram Radojićic came free, but Gvozden Petrović reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Buda Katanić could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 32nd minute of the match, but Ivo Zdravković made a huge save. Sibin Stepanov came free with the goalkeeper in the 33rd minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Ivo Zdravković could save by the left post. If Buda Katanić had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 42 minutes into the match, Sibin Stepanov notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Bogovina OFK's Ivo Zdravković. Ivo Zdravković was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. When Sibin Stepanov came up free with the goalie in the 47th minute, the Gornji Milanovac FK 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 Sibin Stepanov couldn't finish the play. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Avram Radojićic to make the kick off. Ivo Zdravković made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Buda Katanić in the 51st minute of play. When Gornji Milanovac FK's Buda Katanić, in the 57th minute, received a pass right in front of the net, it looked like a certain goal, but his shot went outside. A wasted opportunity for Gornji Milanovac FK. Ðuza Majić kicked well hit freekick during the 59th minute of the match. 61 minutes into the match, Bogovina OFK's goal looked a bit too open when Buda Katanić came free, but Ivo Zdravković reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Gornji Milanovac FK's Buda Katanić got a good chance for a goal in the 63rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After 65 played minutes Bogovina OFK got a freekick which was hit by Sekula Zafirovski. In the 68th match minute, Bogovina OFK was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Kosan Trnavac to maneuver through the defense. After a rather tough play, Bogovina OFK's Kosan Trnavac got a free kick in the 70th minute. Gvozden Petrović showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Avram Radojićic, who was totally free with the ball in the 74th minute. The supporters of Gornji Milanovac FK booed when Bogovina OFK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 76 match minutes in a wonderful position. Jelenko Kajtez didn't get a good kick on the ball. 78 minutes into the game, Vitomir Jelisavčić was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Bogovina OFK's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Gornji Milanovac FK the free kick. If Sibin Stepanov had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 80th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Vitomir Jelisavčić recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 83rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Avram Radojićic might have been able to make a better finish in the 86th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Gvozden Petrović. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Avram Radojićic ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 91st minute, Buda Katanić 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. Buda Katanić fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 93rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ivo Zdravković having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Avram Radojićic in the 96th minute of play forced Gornji Milanovac FK's goalkeeper Gvozden Petrović to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The final whistle blew with the score still tied, and both teams left the pitch thinking about the missed chances that could have given their team the win.
