Gavrilo Brdar breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick.

When Matija Gegić came up free with the goalie in the 92nd minute, the Deliblato OFK 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 Matija Gegić couldn't finish the play. The supporters of Vranje booed when Deliblato OFK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 96 match minutes in a wonderful position. Dušan Krajinović didn't get a good kick on the ball.
